Exception problems-> this is a bug!

Tue Nov 28 07:26:00 GMT 2000

This program (see below) crashes whenever a function on a separate thread is
called that contains a try{} catch(){} block. I tested with several
compilers (Cygwin, MingW, IBM Visual Age, MS Visual C++ and Metrowerks) and
only CygWin (latest release of all software) crashes. I think that the stack
of the thread is not cleaned up correctly.
Is there a workaround availalbe of some kind??
