>Description:
std::exception::what() returns a string describing the
exception.  The string returned is '9exception', while I
believe it should be 'exception'.  Compare this to std::bad_alloc::what() which return 'bad_alloc'.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile and run the enclosed program and check the output:

  Catched: 9exception
  Catched: bad_alloc
