Bug#396209: g++-2.95: exception handling with "try" "throw" "catch" does not work

[eddy <en@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de>]

Package: g++-2.95
Version: 1:2.95.4-27
Severity: important


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void) {
    int e = 7;  
    try {
        cerr << "throwing ...\n";
        throw e;
        }
    catch(int err) {
        cerr << "catching ...\n";
        }
    cerr << "everything went fine.\n";
    }

Compiling and running this sample shows,
that the int e thrown within the try block
will not be caught.
