Ooh, I'm sorry.  In my experience, on HP-UX with gcc, an exception thrown and caught within a
shared library causes a crash.  An exception escaping a shared library actually has a slightly
better shot at working.  This is the main reason I began investigating HP aCC for our
projects.  Unfortunately, at this time aCC is also unsatisfactory for other reasons.  An aCC
support contract has been purchased for me at work and I will be investigating more
workarounds when I receive it.  Right now, my fingers are crossed for gcc 3.0 (supposedly due
out June 15).
