Subject:	Exception handling

I'm new to DJGPP and I'm having some problems using C++
exception-handling. The following code

> #include <iostream>
> 
> int main()
> {
>	try
>	{
>		cout << "throwing an exception... ";
>		throw("exception throwed!");
>	}
>	catch(const char *msg)
>	{
>		cout << msg << endl;
>	}
>	return 0;
> }

produces the following output:

> throwing an exception... Abort!


	I think unexpected(), or terminate() is been called, but why?
	(I'm using DJGPP 2.1, binutils 2.8.1, gcc 2.8.0, gpp 2.8.0)

	Thanks in advance,
