[Bug libstdc++/40606] New: Inside new_handler "throw;" operator may cause abort

[tsyvarev at ispras dot ru]

The attached example causes abort() on SLES11 (IA64).

This example comes from a test suite that checks operator new in various
situations. According to the execution results of these tests, it seems to me
that the problem is somewhere in "throw;" operator inside
NewHandlerBox::new_handler_box() method, which is called as new_handler when
new operator fails to allocate memory.

Unfortunately I have no direct access to the machine with this configuration
(SLES11 installed on IA64 architecture), so I couldn't prepare a shorter
example program. For now, I can't say which parts of the program are essential
to reproduce the problem and which ones are not. However, in a very simple
example the problem wasn't reproduced.

Also, the mentioned test suite was executed on many other machines with
different OSes and architectures, but the problem have not arisen there so far.
