See my e-mail to Kevin.  it decides if 
DECR_PC_AFTER_[SOFTWARE_]BREAK[POINT_TRAP] should be applied.

Are throw/catch events implemented using software breakpoints that are 
entered into the breakpoint table?

One of the characteristics of the software single step breakpoints is 
that they are not entered into the breakpoint table.  This is why Joel 
needs to hide them from core GDB :-)

I think fork/exec events can be treated separatly.

enjoy,
Andrew
