FYI, Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve has reduced the exception-handling problem
mentioned here
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2002-May/001021.html to a minimal
example:

    http://cci.lbl.gov/~rwgk/tmp/gcc_dl_eh.tar.gz

gunzip -c gcc_dl_eh.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd gcc_dl_eh
more 0README

The problem here is clearly a GCC/Linux interaction problem, *not* a Python
bug. However, it does have an impact on anyone writing Python extension
modules with g++ on Linux.
