This is a known problem when throwing exceptions in one executable and
catching them in another.  The exception code must live in one and only
one place. Check the mingw  and the pthread-win32 archives for ways to
do this (under mingw or -mno-cygwin) by putting the generic and C++ eh
code from mingw libgcc into a dll.
