I've fixed the FreeBSD-Current exception handling issue, so
that exception handling is now working there as well (I also 
suspect
that it was broken pretty much on all libundwind 64bit systems, 
just worked by accident, since the optimizer didn't try too hard.

It's something I wanted to do for a long time, but there's never 
time,
so having a day dedicated to it was pretty helpful!

It was pretty cool finding Jonathan who filed the bug in the same 
room, then
chasing Walter to talk about it, after hearing all war stories, 
including,
but not limited to, blue meteors.
