Exception bug in egcs-19980803 on linux

[Derrick Bass]

This code is from the blitz compiler testsuite, slightly modified.  It
works under egcs-1.0.1, but the code generated core dumps with egcs-19980803.
Here's the code:
// Exceptions
// BZ_EXCEPTIONS

#include <typeinfo>
#include <iostream>

class foo { };

int divide(int a, int b)
{
    if (b == 0)
        throw foo();

    return a / b;
}

int main()
{
    try {
        divide(5,0);
    }
    catch(foo x) {
      cout << "division by zero error" << endl;
      exit(1);
    }

    cout << "Division worked!" << endl;
}


Here's the output from the compile command
