In addition to the previously mailed 'division by zero' bug:
a little testing with other coprocessor exceptions showed that 
in fact *ALL* coprocessor exceptions are NOT TRAPPED anymore.

Example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  double x = sqrt(-4);

  printf ("x = %g\n", x);
  return 0;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
returns: x = -4

I'm looking at the go32 sources to find the cause, 
but perhaps some 'genius' has found it already...
