It would also be great to find out why exception handling does not operate reliably under AIX. It is not a showstopper for daily use (or, at least, has not been to date) but results in chronic regression test failures. I have taken several time-consuming stabs at isolating the problem, but have run into serious difficulties in getting the AIX debugger to load and trace test execution. If anyone from IBM compiler tools feels motivated, I think this needs someone a bit more clueful than I working at it. Otherwise, I'll add my voice to those thanking Jason for his tireless work. A hearty "Way to Go!".
