First of all, how did you manage to compile that call?

Remember that the C++ ABIs are incompatible. That means you made the call 
through an extern "C" function. Assume that all C functions do not throw.

[For now; on Linux and some other systems, exceptions in C are used to mark 
thread cancellation points]
