Repro program

We are currently porting our application to Windows 64 bits (amd64), and we are
getting regressions from 32 bits relatively to LLVM 3.0's ability to get
traversed by "foreign" Visual Studio C++ exceptions. That is, there is a crash
when C++ exceptions which are thrown from Visual Studio code, are unwinding
through LLVM code before being eventually catch by other Visual Studio code.

Note: I am not sure if this is specific to Visual Studio.

I was able to repro the issue simply by modifying the Fibonacci example to call
an external C++ function which throws an exception, much like in
ExceptionsDemo.cpp: works on 32 bits but not on 64 bits Visual Studio. The
crash happens within Windows' _cxxThrowException routine.

Attached is the file containing the "repro" executable (to be compiled with the
same settings as the Fibonacci example). The program does a recursive call of
depth "N", with "N" being passed as an arg (like in the Fibonacci example).
Here it crashes even with N=0, on 64 bits.
