er, spoke too quickly.  For a synchronous interrupt and subsequent 
exception, this will be the current instruction.  But, for a regular 
throw, it will be the next pc.

But, the i386 freebsd and linux exception frame initializers add a one 
to the current pc:

/* Get the first exception frame from a signal handler */
#define 
EXCEPTIONFRAME(f, c)					\
	(f).retbp = (c)->sc_ebp;				\
	(f).retpc = (c)->sc_eip + 1
