Trouble with C++ exceptions rehashed

Hi,

I've upgraded to Appe's gcc3.3. The problem has gone away half-way; now, when the terminate_handler is in the same binary as the exception-generating throw clause, it works; but if it's in a separate shared library, it still loops.

I've written a small test program that loads a dylib containing a handler and throws an exception. If the program ("thrower") is called without any arguments, it uses the internal handler, which works; if it's called with any command line arguments, the empty throw clause at the beginning of the handler loops.

I've attached the code (two source files, header, Makefile). My problem is that the terminate_handler I want to use is precisely in a shared library, and I can't really change that. Is there any guru on this list who knows what's going wrong here?

Thanks in advance,
--Bjvrn
