Are there problems with try/throw/catch on NetBSD/amd64?

Or am I just special?  (^&

I think that the following should work, but on my AMD64 box, it
dies (it runs on a NetBSD/i386 1.6 box):

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void foo (void)
{
    throw "Catch me if you can.";
}

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    try
    {
        foo ();
    }
    catch (const char *msg)
    {
        cout << msg;
    }
    return 0;
}


Known issue?  GCC problem?  Or AMD64 issue?  Should I file a PR?
