Aren't we talking about propagating exceptions across thread boundaries?

If so, eventually the thread has to have a catch block that ends without
"throw;" or the process will almost certainly terminate.

Aren't we talking about storing a copy of the exception object somewhere so
it can be rethrown in another thread?

If not, how do you propose to make it work?
