I hunted down the error and modified Doc/INSTALL.txt (patch below,
please modify numarray sources) to indicate that the problem is not
confined to Fedora Core1 but to any i386 linux with libc < 2.3.3 and
SSE-using code.
With my newly patched and compiled libc, my system runs great, and no
more mysterious Floating Point Exceptions!
Cheers!
