MinGW: std::terminate() called recursively in exception_ptr_test

[Jim Bell <jim@…>]

exception_ptr_test fails (see here, link valid 2010/10/21) with what appears to be many calls to terminate:

Running it in gdb and breaking at std::terminate, I get:

I can't reproduce this on MinGW with GCC version 4.5.0. Maybe it is (was?) a bug in the compiler?
