When compiling a C++ program with -Wall, I get the following compiler warning

/usr/local/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.0/../../../../include/c++/4.0.0/bits/stl_uninitialized.h:113:
warning: control may reach end of non-void function '_ForwardIterator
std::__uninitialized_copy_aux(_InputIterator, _InputIterator, _ForwardIterator,
__false_type) [with _InputIterator = pr_type*, _ForwardIterator = pr_type*]'
being inlined

The problem seems to be in __uninitialized_copy_aux() in stl_uninitialized.h

The catch statement block beginning on line 89 merely exits the routine without 
actually returning a value.

The warning would not be given if a dummy return statement were added after 
line 92 (even though the return statement could never be executed).
