Major bug -- Exception handling broken

Exception handling in g++ is totally broken in the current Cygwin
release. Almost any program that uses exceptions crashes:

class Foo {};
int main() {
  try { throw Foo(); }
  catch (const Foo&) { return 0; }
}

$ g++ foo.cpp -o foo
$ ./foo
0 [main] foo 1007 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
5052 [main] foo 1007 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to foo.exe.stackdump

System is NT4+sp6a; CPU is PIII/450; Cygwin installation is straight
from the current setup.exe. If you need any more details let me know.

(I reported this last week, but nobody paid any attention.)
