Exceptions on Debian causing SIGABRT

[Denis Defreyne]

Hi,

I am running Debian on a 64-bit system and I am experiencing odd behaviour when 
raising exceptions. Raising an exception causes the app to terminate with a 
SIGABRT without printing the exception itself or any other diagnostic info.

Check <http://pastie.org/932793> for a minimal test case along with the output 
that it generates. The corresponding backtrace, as generated in gdb, can be 
found at <http://pastie.org/932799> (once without debug symbols, and once with 
debug symbols).

Given that objc_exception_throw() is handled by libobjc (not GNUstep), I’m not 
sure whether GNUstep has anything to do with this, but I figured that this 
would be a good place to start looking for an answer.

Denis
