c++ char exceptions

[Robert Collins]

I don't know if this is a cygwin issue or if I am doing something
fundamentally wrong...

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  try
    {
      throw "catch this";
    }
  catch (char *message) 
    {
      return 1;
    }
  return 0;
}

coredumps on me. Throwing int's works fine. Throwing (string) "foo"
works fine.

Anyway, this is partly for the archives, partly for curiosity.
