(C code must be compiled with the flag -fexceptions under gcc) I've noticed that configure don't turn on this flag by default. (If a c library is NOT compiled with -fexecptions, any exception thrown across a c function call on the stack, will always terminate the application) ----------------------------------- See the amazing new SF reel: Invasion of the man eating cucumbers from outer space.
