I see your problem... try changeing the prog to this :
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

class sorry{
    public:
    const char *error_msg;
    sorry( const char *p) : error_msg(p) {}
};

int main()
{
    try {
        throw sorry( "test 3");
    }
    catch ( sorry stuff ) {
        cerr << "Sorry, ";
        cerr << stuff.error_msg ;
        cerr << '\n';
    }
    cout << '\n';
}
