I'm developing a shared library that is loaded excplicitly (dlopen) on a separate application. I compile using gcc 3.2.3 and linking with the native linker. I have trouble throwing exceptions and catching them. Note that all the throwing/catching is done inside my code, and not between shared objects. After the throw, I get an Abort. The stack trace afterwards: GNU gdb 6.0 Copyright 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Any idea how can I approach this problem? thanks, Yehuda Sadeh Weinraub
