I have had the same concern, though never any hard evidence of a problem.  If 
the C++ functions are wrapped with "extern C", and all exceptions caught 
(perhaps converted into error numbers which are then returned from the wrapper 
functions to the plain-C calling functions), are there any remaining known 
problems?  I have often considered making a C++ allocator which wrapped palloc 
and pfree, so that I could then use the STL within the backend...

Has anyone tried this?
