This seems to be saying that the exception isn't thrown when not run 
under gdb?

0x80000001 is STATUS_GUARD_PAGE_VIOLATION

gdb reports this as 'unknown', as there's no unix signal this can be 
mapped to (for example, STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION is mapped to SIGSEGV)

Firstly, I'd suggest you do a 'bt' here, and see if any third party DLLs 
are in the call stack (e.g. AV products, etc.)

Thanks for the simple test case.

Unfortunately, this doesn't reproduce for me.
