That really depends. It could mean that exception handling is buggy (LLVM
bug in x86-64) or that something is fundamentally amiss (Windows) and
unwinding the stack to the correct catch clause does not work. In the
latter case, we make 'throw' print out a message and terminate the program
instead.

I'd expect so, though it hasn't been tried.
