Unfortunately, it did not.  I tried on both my usual 1.3.3 development
machine (with a self-built egcs 1.1.2) as well as on a stock 1.4.1 install
(using the tools in comp.tgz unmodified, which is egcs 1.1.1).  Both
operating systems cause bus errors and so forth when exceptions are caught
inside a shared library, using the test case previously posted.  With or
without the above flag.  8^(

I'm filling out the sendpr form right now.  8^)
