 Your test code works fine for me on the current (19991116) gcc snapshot, so I'm
 going to close the PR. I guess this wasn't the same as my (and Jeff Sturm's) EH
 bug though, as that one is still there.
 
 FYI, the simplest way to reproduce my bug is:
 
 import java.text.DecimalFormat;
 
 public class Format1
 {
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
     DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();
   }
 }
 
 This causes libgcj to thrown an exception somewhere and subsequently abort during
 the 'throw'. It works fine on gcc 2.95.2. So far it only seems to occur on
 exceptions thrown and caught within libgcj - I havn't been able to reproduce it
 in self-contained code - and this makes it difficult to come up with a reasonable
 PR/gcc complaint ;-)
