How did it go? I believe that I have narrowed it down to one day now.
cvs update -D"2002-07-15" seems to give a working program, but with
cvs update -D"2002-07-16" I get the abort() when processing exceptions.

Unfortunately I have not enough disk space to keep to many gcc builds
around on the machine but I will try to find out which particular patch
broke it for me later this week. Meanwhile I can now test my patch by
using the older gcc build (on which the Throwable patch applies cleanly
and it works nicely on powerpc!)

Cheers,
