I fail to see the inventive step in that patent, too. But as it's worded, it seems to cover SEH when used to implement implicit destruction of local variables. 8-( I'm not sure if it makes sense to worry about this patent. There seems to be a straightforward workaround: always push the same exception frame which points to cxxabi-like unwinder. This should be interoperable with other SEH users.
