exception handling bug?

[Marc Lehmann]

this program:

struct E {
   int x;
   E(int i) { x = i; };
};

int main()
{
   try {
      E *p = new E(5);
      throw p;
   }
   
   catch (E *&e) {
      printf ("address of e is %d\n", (long)e);
   }
}

prints "address of e is 5" instead of the *address* of e. I'm
no exception expert, but IMHO this should print the contents of "p"
instead.
