It went away when I added a 387 FPU. Do yourself a favor and buy a 387, its really worth the money. If you're into self-torture and want to go on using the 386DX without FPU, then your problem is probably due to a mismatch between the kernel FPU emulation and the C compiler. Since most xxxBSD hackers have FPUs (387s or 486DXs), you'll have to fix this bug yourself. Look in /sys/i386/i386/math_emulate.c for clues. **vp ----------------------------------- Vassilis Prevelakis | vp@csi.forth.gr Thoukididou 10A | old style address: Plaka, Athens 105 58 | ...!mcvax!ariadne!vp GREECE | Tel. +30 1 32 32 867 | FAX +30 1 72 24 603
