What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ./configure
2. make
3. ./sampling_debug_test.sh or ./sampling_test.sh

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I don't know the expected output.

For sampling_debug_test, I see..............................................

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gperftools 2.0.
I test ubuntu 10.04, 12.04, and 12.10, and get the same result.

Please provide any additional information below.
I see the warning that not set the env TCMALLOC_SAMPLE_PARAMETER, and I set the 
env, just fix the warning, also get failed.

It works now.
1. CXXFLAGS=-fexceptions ./configure
2. make
3. export TCMALLOC_SAMPLE_PARAMETER=1024
4. ./sampling_debug_test.sh or ./sampling_test.sh
PASS

Interesting. So you initially had exceptions turned off by default?
