How come all my Adobe SDK apps crash hard? What am I missing?

Question

I believe I have copied carefully the statements included with the Adobe SDK. In all my apps, my code is enclosed as follows:
try {
// my code here
catch (...) {
ASGetErrorString(ERRORCODE, buf, sizeof(buf));
cerr << "Error code: " << ERRORCODE << ", Error Message: " << buf;
Here's a simple example:

All error messages look like this:
    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x804d8909 in ?? ()
IOW, the Adobe code does not catch anything at all.  :-(
What I am missing?
Note: This is on Linux, GUI-less, CLI-type of application.

Thanks for your interest, Leonard.
I hate to tell you this, but I tried the "DURING, HANDLER; END_HANDLER" constructs, in several variations, taking the code from the examples, and the result is that the application crashes as soon as it hits the "DURING".  :-(
