SigSegV during stack unwind (AIX)

Hi
I am getting a strange segmentation fault during the unwind
process. I am trying to throw an object of an Exception class.
During the DoThrow (in libC.a) the stack starts growing until a
Signal is received.
The object thrown is of a class that inherits from a common class,
and the signal only appears rarely - but consistently when it does appear.

I am useing xlC V8 on Aix 5.3 . Dod anyone experience/heard of something like this ? Could it be a copiler problem ?

Thanks

uwx_self_init_state_cache(3X)											     uwx_self_init_state_cache(3X)

NAME
uwx_self_init_state_cache() - create a cache to improve self-unwind performance SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
is part of the Unwind Express Library for Integrity systems; see uwx(3X). creates a cache for quick retrieval of unwind state information when self-unwinding. This routine can be used to improve the performance of programs that perform frequent self-unwind operations. The ideal cache size and associativity will vary for different applications. Experiment with different values and use performance measure- ment tools to determine the best values to use. The memory used by the cache is freed when is called. Parameters info A pointer to the callback info structure created by rows The number of rows in the cache. If this is not a power of two, it will be adjusted to the largest power of two less than the value specified. If the value specified is less than 1, returns without allocating a cache. assoc The associativity of the cache. This determines how many entries with conflicting hash values can be stored in each row of the cache. If the value specified is less than 1, returns without allocating a cache. entsz The size of a cache entry in bytes. The size of the unwind state information stored in a cache entry varies between 64 and 368 bytes. If a stack frame's unwind state is larger than the value specified for entsz, the state will not be saved in the cache. An entry size of 104 is sufficient for most stack frames. If the entsz value is not a multiple of 8 bytes it will be rounded up. If value specified is less than 64 bytes, returns without allocating a cache. RETURN VALUE
returns on success. See uwx(3X) for error codes. AUTHOR
