I have been experiencing all sots of errors when an application
tries to divide by zero, after the operation 386BSD usually reboots.
Does anyone know how to solve this ?

Another problem I have notice is that fsck says that I
have in /dev/rsd0a 14680 files/319257 used/ 150670 free and
     in /dev/rsd0h 4189  files/216362 used/ 159405 free

but df says:

Filesystem 512-blks    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0a    469927  319261  103673    75%    /
/dev/sd0h    375767  216362  121828    64%    /users


So it is like I am loosing approx. 100000 blocks of space.
Does anybody know what is going on ?

Thank you very much,
