I tried this on my Linux box with both Intel-10.0 and Intel-10.1 and see 
similar behaviour in each case: the program hangs (actually it segfaults 
according to gdb) as soon as it attempts to throw an exception from within 
the library.

However, I'm using this compiler on an unsupported Linux configuration, so 
problems like this aren't necessarily unexpected :-(

So... is the system you're running on supported officially by Intel?

Also like you I have no issues with earlier Intel compiler releases on this 
machine, so I'm not sure what if anything I can do to fix this :-(

Just an idea: but can you try building that test with link=static and see if 
that helps at all?  Just in case it's a passing exceptions across .so 
boundaries problem?

Thanks, John.
