Nope.  It's the same client code in both cases, and it handles the  
exceptions.  But when cln is compiled with -fno-exceptions it does this:

Ciel: c
Illegal number syntax: "c"
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int'
Abort trap

I have no idea what is actually going on under the hood here.  I  
don't write much C++ code and this is the first time I've ever seen  
this.
