   catch (Exception o)
   {
     printf("%.*s ", o.toString());
   }
}

After run, program outputs: "A ~A E ~A", i.e. A dtor is called twice.
If uncomment (1), output is "A ~A ~A ~A ... ~A", i.e. A dtor is called  
many-many times :)

Under Linux the output is "A ~A E ~A" and "A ~A ~A Error: E" if (1) is
uncommented.

Note the strange difference between "E" and "Error: E" !
