I'm not terribly familiar with the cleanup attribute's implementation, but I'm 
curious to know how it would work in the face of longjmp, which tends to be 
pretty simple in how it operates and without regard for such things as 
exception handlers or object destructor functions (which I would expect the 
implementation of "cleanup" to piggy-back on).
