I wouldn't expect it to work.  A bare 'throw' rethrows the current
exception,
so it is mainly for use in a catch block.  If there is no current
exception,
i calls either unexpected() or terminate() (not sure which; check the
call
stack), which eventually calls terminate(), which for gcc calls abort().
Simply throwing _something_ should make things work.

try { throw "Rafal"; } catch (...) { cerr << "OK :)" << endl; }
