        try {
                throw string("String");
        } catch (string s) {
                cout << "Caught an exception \"" << s << "\"\n";
        }
        return 0;
}

Same on RELENG_6 (do not have 7.0 around, but 8.0 and 7.0 are identical
compiler-wise. Same on 8.0/amd64.


BTW, do you have . in your PATH?

Exception raised: Memory allocation failure!
        ^^^^^^^^^^^ Not in your sample code.
