Description
Run the attached testcase using promoted tiger and mustang build, and you will see the the difference in behaviour.

To run the testcase:
java Gui

In tiger, when you hit the button "Calculate", it will pop up a dialog, which is called from uncaughtExpcetion that the testcase implement.

In mustang, uncaughtExpcetion is not called at all.
Comments
EVALUATION A demonstration of how the behavior differs requires a small test case using only core library APIs, not a GUI. The uncaught exception mechanism was indeed changed in Tiger, but is not known to have been changed incompatibly.
