Now upstream from this is some floating point code, but it all runs fine
on Decstations running either Ultrix or OSF/1 so I'm a *little perplexed*
about what's going on.
Could someone offer a suggestion as to what's up/where to look/etc?
Thanks a million

BTW: this happens on both my NetBSD-0.8 and FreeBSD-1.0R systems (486dx33's)
