But you have the above store too.

That doesn't write to the exception object, it only does a single
dereference (compared to the double dereference of the racy write), so
it writes to the local variable in the PERSONALITY_FUNCTION in
eh_personality.cc

So that shouldn't race with other threads. I think.
