So the sc test, while working reliably for me, is apparently not working
for Kohei and others, so its disabled from being run by default for the
moment again. The trigger is definitely an uncaught exception, I'd guess
from some config using path which I'm not seeing for some reason or
other. So I've now added some debugging infrastructure to help track the
problem down.

Can you (g pull -r, etc.) and do...

export DEBUGCPPUNIT=1
cd sc/qa/unit
dmake

(hopefully in a build where --enable-symbols has been enabled in the
first place)

and send me/make available the gdbtrace.log which should eventually pop
out from that. That should contain the last throw/catch backtraces to
track where the offender is coming from.
