 Nope, I knew all this.  I am just _very_ supprised to discover how
 the compiler assumes ::operator new (size_t) will throw exceptions
 when using -fno-exceptions.
 
 I believe this is a bug.
 
 I've learned about the flag -fcheck-new since I filed this bugreport,
 and believe it should be set by default when using -fno-exceptions.
