[LC++]exceptions out off class

[Julien Patrick Claassen]

Hello!
  I have a general problem. I tried to get my experience with exceptions a
little bit better again. So I wrote a testprogramm. It compiled fine, but
it seg.fualts. Asume thefollowing:
  There's a simple exception-class with a member function getString() and
of course a string itss. Then there is a function test, which just throws
the exception.
  In the main-programm I then try to catch it. If I just catch it like:
catch (my_exception)
it works. But if I catch it like:
catch (my_exception e) OR
catch (my_exception& e)
it segfaults.
  If I throw the exception in main and catch it there, everything works
fine in all three ways.
  Does passing exception by reference or by value only work if you do it
out of a class?
  Kindest regards
       Julien
