Are the exceptions actually throwed? What I am affraid of is that we
just manage to lose track of the possibly trapping instructions during
the optimization progress. Last about 10 bugfixes has been to these areas
and I really don't know how big the problem is, but basically every pass
appears to do something wrong to non-call exceptions.
So it would be nice to have some testcase that actually trhrows the
exceptions and check that everything is going well.
