Message-ID: <f0XUP76@quack.kfu.com> Organization: The Duck Pond public unix: +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest'. Date: 23 Mar 1993 17:57:08 UTC Lines: 15 0.2.2 running on a 486-50 with 16M RAM. I compiled xv_calctool (patchlevel 12). If I try and find ln(10000)/ln(10), it crashes with a floating point exception. The same code on a sun does not. If I try and get a stack-trace on the resulting core, it crashes in routines that haven't the slightest thing to do with floating point. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Might there be some delay between the occurance of the problem and the exception or something? -- Nick Sayer <mrapple@quack.kfu.com> | "Do you know how lucky you are we N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NOCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | even HAVE cereal?!
