commit 628060335341d57090cd83e45b5e577674a3c0a9
Author: Jason Merrill <jason@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon May 6 21:30:20 2013 -0400

    	* except.c (is_admissible_throw_operand_or_catch_parameter): Check
    	variably_modified_type_p.
    	(expand_start_catch_block): Mark the typeinfo used here.
    	* semantics.c (finish_handler_parms): Not here.
    
    	* error.c (dump_type_suffix): Try harder on VLA length.
