Hi,

recently the bug "6961186: Better VM handling of unexpected exceptions
from application native code" has been fixed but the fix only applies
for Windows and Solaris platforms.
While the bug evaluation at
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6961186 mentions that the fix
for Solaris and Linux would be the same (i.e. using set_terminate to
catch uncaught C++ exceptions), the fix was apparently not implemented
for Linux.

Has the Linux fix been omitted intentionally or accidentally?

Regards,
Volker
