What is an "exception" in C?

There is no CPP (.cpp or .cxx) code in any of these libraries.


Interesting thing though:
cmem has a userspace and kernelspace component.
TI does really nasty stuff, like pull in .h files from the kernel and
whatnot.
I just tried again against the 2.6.38 kernel (was 2.6.36 this morning) and
there is no error.

Perhaps it's just something in my .config that turns that on or off in the
kernel.
