Array_3 fails on powerpc-linux also. It seems to be a generic EH problem
in the compiler - a trapping instruction (which has no side effects) is
optimized away or moves out of the "catch" range. IIRC, if the test case
is modified so that the result of the dereference is used then it works
correctly.
Its a bug, but IMO not particularly serious (and not specific to sparc)
so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
