I think that this problem is related to to the gmp package instead of ppl. After seeing this bug report, I have been doing some tests with the ppl package. Unfortunately I can not reproduce the bug, because my computer is i686 and I do not have access to an amd64 host.
When configuring the ppl package (on i686), you get this warning message: configure: WARNING: CANNOT PROPAGATE EXCEPTIONS BACK FROM GMP: *** MEMORY EXHAUSTION MAY RESULT IN ABRUPT TERMINATION. *** This is OK, if you do not plan to use the bounded memory capabilities *** offered by the PPL. Otherwise, if you are using GCC or the Intel C/C++ *** compiler, please make sure you use a version of GMP compiled with the *** `-fexceptions' compiler option. *** To build such a version, you can configure GMP as follows: *** CPPFLAGS=-fexceptions ./configure --enable-cxx --prefix=/usr/local I have checked the rules script in the gmp source package, and the CPPFLAGS is not set to any flag. My guess is that adding -fexceptions to CPPFLAGS in the gmp package will solve this bug. But as I said above, I cannot test it. I have reported this to the gmp package (bug #555817).
