C++ exceptions don't work from Cygwin DLLs?

[Bob Friesenhahn]

Charles,

I am attempting to get ImageMagick to work properly using Cygwin DLLs.
The C++ component is built as a DLL using the binutils auto-import
feature and CVS libtool.  The library works fine with the glaring
exception that any C++ exception thrown from the library causes an
immediate core dump.  I have verified that C++ exceptions do work if
they are not thrown from a DLL, and the library passes all tests
(including C++ exceptions) if it is built as a static library.

Do you believe that C++ exceptions should be working with Cygwin DLLs?
