I'm using cygwin32 b18 with Windows NT 4.0 ServicePack 1.

The c++ command often blocks with the following message

	In cygwin_except_handler

when trying to compile some code that worked with g++ 2.7.2 under
sparc-solaris-2.5.1.  Nothing more happens.  The process doesn't exit.

Any suggestions for how to debug this?

An small example

	$ cat test.C
	void foo ()
	{
	  int a = 0;
	  int b = a ?: 1;
	}
	$ c++ -c test.c
	(long/path/cc1plus.exe 1038) In cygwin_except_handler

This example was easy to fix, just don't use the GNU `?:' extension.

But it happens in many places in my code, also places that doesn't use
GNU extensions, so I suspect there is something wrong with my setup.
Any ideas?

PS: Where should I report errors that doesn't look win32 specific in
the g++ bundled with cygwin?
