Err, instead of `the C++ "catch" code' I probably should have said `the 
C++ "try" code'.

The C code is called from within a "try" block, and the "catch" clause 
for that "try" block is not called to handle the exception:

	C++:	try { transfer(); } catch (...) { }
	C:	transfer() calls toss()
	C++:	toss() throws an exception
