I am not surprised. :-)
I recently ran also in issues with programs running fine on Linux with gcc 4.5 and when I tried to run them on MacOSX with apple-gcc 4.2 there was a different behavior. Suddenly some exceptions wouldn't be caught in the terminate handler anymore. It turned out that the latter compiler doesn't like empty throws (i.e. throw;) which would re-throw a just caught exception.

Well, I have, so I'll try to have a look into it during the next days.

Ah, ok, so, it could be that the bug can not get fixed by manipulating stuff in KMyMoney's code anyway!?

Well, ok, I'll try check it out.

Thanks for letting me know that it runs on Linux for you guys. (I hadn't done such a test on my Linux laptop or Linux Parallels VMs so far.)

Greets,
Marko
