Subject: gcc exception handling

I don't know if this a known issue. But I encounter
this problem when using gcc 3.3.3 on cygwin. The code
similar to below core dumps me.

   try {
      obj->dothis();
   }
    catch ( myexception& e)
    {
        return true;
     }

It core dumps on the return statement in gdb. But when
I make a simplified test including only above code,
the core dump doesn't happen any more. My program that
gets core dumped links pthread and uses mutex.
Actually the return statement should invoke stack
unwinding that will do mutex locking and unlocking.
Though I don't know if that is related or not.

Anybody else has similar problem ? Any suggestion?
