No, I didn't.  It might well solve the immediate problem of this bug report. 
But then there are two other exception codes that occur in unwind-seh.c that we 
would also have to deal with: STATUS_GCC_UNWIND	and STATUS_GCC_FORCED.  Someone 
would have to look at their uses and figure out what, if anything, Cygwin should 
do with them.

I'd be willing to take a crack at this if no one more knowledgeable steps 
forward.  But keep in mind that I've never looked at the gcc code or Cygwin's 
exception handler until today, so I'm not necessarily the best person to do this.
