[Bug c++/13887] New: Throw in shared library causes core

[tsorensen at dtrac dot com]

This is most likely related to 13878, but I cannot add a comment (trying to
change from c++ to c++...).

Throwing any exception in a shared library causes a core. It appears that g++ is
not finding the proper handler, allowing the exception to rise out of main and
terminate() is being called.

Simple test case follows.

        throw 1;
    }

    return;
}

int main()
{
    tstthrow();
    return 0;
}
