I remember having had a similar problem a while ago. I think it was a 
bug in gcc, specifically,
gcc not being able to deal with exceptions correctly when 
-fomit-frame-pointer (something like that, anyway)
was given.

If you have that option, or just use any kind of optimization, you may 
want to recompile without it
and see whether this makes a difference. The bug I'm talking about was 
reported to the gcc mailing list...

hope this helps,    Stefan
