Trouble with C++ exceptions

Hi,

I'm trying to catch an exception using a set_terminate handler, which
re-throws the exception and tries to catch it using a number of
templates, including "...". On Linux, this works fine; on OS X, the
handler gets stuck in an endless recursion, re-throwing the exception
and being called over and over again.

I've attached the problematic isolated code; the output is as follows:

On OSX 10.2.6, gcc 3.1 20020420 (prerelease):
$ gcc -o testprogram Main.cc -lstdc++
$ ./testprogram
Re-throwing.
Re-throwing.
Re-throwing.
[... etc until the stack overflows]

On Linux 2.4.19, gcc 3.2:
$ gcc -o testprogram Main.cc -lstdc++
$ ./testprogram
Re-throwing.
MyException
Aborted

So Linux does the right thing. Is this a known bug, and is there
perhaps a patch available? I'm porting a fairly large app that has this
sort of thing all over, and I don't really want to either delete all
throw() clauses or declare all possible exceptions.

Thanks in advance,
--Bjvrn
