Bug! Re-throw in catch() block causes core dump (egcs-1.0.1)

["Glenn R. Kronschnabl" <grk at arlut dot utexas dot edu>]

[Note: I don't know if this a already a know bug, I looked at the egcs-bugs
archive and didn't see anything obvious.]

The following program causes a core dump (the rethrow line):


--- cut here ---
#include <iostream.h>

void foo() throw (const char*)
{
  cout << "in function foo() - throw exception" << endl;

  throw "foo except";
}

int main()
{

  try {
   foo();
  }
  catch (const char*) {
    cout << "caught exception" << endl;
    throw; // rethrow
  }
  catch (...) {
    cout << "Unexpected: caught exception" << endl;
  }
}
--- cut here ---

System: Linux i686, 2.0.32, glibc2-2.0.5, egcs-1.0.1

Can someone else confirm that this is a bug?  This is legal
C++, correct?

Cheers,
Glenn
