Exception unwinding problem

[kostadis]

Hi!

I wrote the following snippet of code

int main()
{
        try {
                throw (5);
        } catch(...) {

        }
};

I compiled it with:

Whenever I run the program it aborts. The stack trace in gdb6.x
he stack trace is:
(gdb) where
#0  0x42028cc1 in kill () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

#7  0x420158d4 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6
(gdb)

I suspect that there is an error in my setup, but need help to
debug it.

thanks,
