If you are referring to this patchset:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.devel/567

most definitely yes! Do remember that it is (most likely)
against 3.3 final release rather than the current
3.3(.1) branch.

Even with your latest (20030517) GCJ 3.3 snapshot, the
"double-real-null" exception problem persists, at least
on Win2K (as expected) - if you rebuild with
additional "--enable-sjlj-exceptions -fcheck-references
-fuse-divide-subroutine" flags, and this problem
disappears (more like shoved under the carpet), I'll
breathe a huge sigh of relief!

Ranjit.
