C++ exceptions are broken in FreeBSD with gcc-compiled code?

I am not able to reproduce the problem here; I will compile the
updated sources tonight to check if that changes anything:

# uname -sr
FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE

# g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 4.2.1 20070719  [FreeBSD]

# cat exc.C

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

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

# g++ -o exc exc.C
# ./exc
Caught an exception "String"
