<ul>
<li>It is not possible to build this version of base on HP-UX due to C++
issues which appear to be bugs in the HP-UX compiler.</li>
<li>When shutting down any CA client or IOC on a recent version of GNU/Linux
(one that includes the NPTL threading library) the following message may
appear, possibly preceeded by a message about a thread terminating due to a
C++ exception:
<blockquote><pre>FATAL: exception not rethrown</pre></blockquote>
An <tt>Abort</tt> message and a core-dump may also be generated if the
user's settings allow this. The error is caused by the implementation of the
pthread_cancel() mechanism in NPTL, which uses the C++ exception mechanism
without providing any means to distinguish the cancel exception to regular
C++ exception handlers.</li>
</ul>
