In fact it is documented, C++PL3 section 14.7. :-)
A good place to stick a debug breakpoint is in terminate().  Or maybe 
override the default terminate() with a variant of Tridge's segv handler?
At minimum, terminate() should at least print a message "Uncaught 
exception" or somesuch.  I think thats that DEC^WCompa^WHP's C++ compiler 
on Alpha does.
