| Yes, please, one more:
|
| 4.0 * 3.1
|
| Or, if that works, go back to the failing
|
| 4.0 * math.exp(-0.5)
both of these work, but changing the 4.0 to an integer 4 produces the
bus error. so it is definitely a conversion to double/float thats
the problem.
|
| In any failing case, can you jump into a debubber and get a stack trace?
sure. I've included an entire dbx session at the end of this mail.
|
| Do you happen to have
|
| WANT_SIGFPE_HANDLER
|

| code that doesn't show up on my box.
a peek at config.h shows the WANT_SIGFPE_HANDLER define commented
out. should I turn it on and see what happens?

this one works just fine. workarounds aren't a problem for me right
now since I'm in no hurry to get this version in use here. I'm just
trying to help debug this version for irix users in general.
