   I know someone here who tried it on FreeBSD (don't know which
version) but couldn't get the exceptions/threads stuff to work.  I
tried it on NetBSD/i386-current the other day using the PTL2 package,
but eg1 got a SEGV the first time an exception was thrown. Until these
issues get sorted out I don't see if happening.
