What I can offer in this case is a full backtrace of the testsuite crash,
with debugging libs installed:

<snip here, everything below is probably not relevant>

Looking at the code, I gather that it's expected for this test to throw an
assertion, and the problem is that it blows up on the other end.  Other
tests that use CPPUNIT_ASSERT_ASSERTION_FAIL() seem to work ok, though, so
it doesn't seem to be a general problem with exception handling on alpha. 
I'll dig a bit further and see what I can see.

Cheers,
