* tests/exceptions.at (main.cpp:exceptions_in_module):
Move dlclose outside catch block; otherwise __cxa_end_catch
(part of the cygwin g++ ABI) accesses pointers to data inside
unloaded DLL. This is a platform ABI-specific bug, but is
likely common to many platforms' g++ and/or other C++
compilers.

Pushed.
Tested on cygwin, linux, and msys:
94: C++ exception handling ok
NOTE: because of a long-standing packaging error on mingw,
you have to manually remove
lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/libstdc++.la
lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/libsupc++.la
or libtool is unable to link C++ images. But that's not
related to this C++ exceptions issue.
Now, there are two additional "errors" that were discovered
during this investigation, but they aren't actually exposed
by this test. However, for correctness, it seems appropriate
to address them as well.
The first of these two "errors" will be addressed by an
additional patch, posted and discussed here. The second of
the two errors will be addressed by documenting under what
conditions it WOULD be exposed. This will be rolled in to
the patch previously mentioned.
