Others will profit from better error message, yes. But Isao's problem
won't be solved by that.

One cause for this is that people use wrongly compiled freeglut/SDL libs,
where exceptions aren't enabled and thus the stack unwinding informaion
is lost. So the boostrap function never gets the exception, but rather
calls terminate() and aborts. This is not a FlightGear bug. OTOH, we
suffer from it and should maybe add a hint to the error message or
a trouble-shooting README.

Nope. But linking with a (free)glut/SDL lib that was configured/compiled/linked
with CFLAGS="-fexceptions $CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="-fexceptions $LDFLAGS" ./configure
should be more helpful.

m.  :-)
