I just copied your code and compiled (g++ main.cc, djgpp 2.8.1),
the output was (as you expected):

main-BEGIN
Test-BEGIN
catch (int E)
main-END

Something wrong with your installation? May be you should compile 
with: g++ -v main.cc   to get more information, and post it (so the
real guru's can figure out what is wrong)

Good luck,
