I had a similar problem with floating point exceptions with an
electrical network analysis program (spice). After reading earlier
threads concerning libm, I put a floating point reset (fpreset?)
as one of the first executable lines in the program, and the
exceptions *seem* to have stopped. Sorry for the fuzziness about
fpreset, I don't have djgpp installed here at the office.
