Yes, I do. In that reply, I was merely trying to show that
the OP's throw-expression was incompatible with his handler's
exception-declaration. Fixing that problem demonstrates that
the test case doesn't actually have anything to do with
exceptions crossing a dll boundary, as he originally thought.

You might like to point out the slicing problem and perhaps
make some other instructive points (about exception safety
or exception-specifications, e.g.) on the web 'forum'. I
try to avoid the 'forums' myself, especially for lengthy
discussions, but I couldn't resist examining the test case
because it might have indicated a severe problem.
