Hi there!

I've been running DJGPP v.2 on a 120 mhz Dell Pentium machine with 64 megs
of memory and lots of hard disc.  I tried porting a program that
worked under UNIX. It behaves rather strangely running in DJGPP under Windows (3.1.1).

I stubedited the .exe file to allow for a minimum stack of 2 megs.

When  I run the program by itself (in a terminal window under windows 3.1), I
get the following response (after running symify):


Exiting due to signal SIGFPE
Floating Point exception at eip=000292fc
eax=0032d9cc ebx=00000004 ecx=00331a00 edx=0000006c esi=0000006c edi=00000004
ebp=0032d9cc esp=0032c614 cs=00af ds=00b7 es=00b7 fs=008f ss=00b7
Call frame traceback EIP's:
  0x000292fc __doprnt+1432
  0x00026a75 _fprintf +105
  0x00023ea2 _dotab+614, line 1568 of lpxaux.c
  ....(more of my functions here)

When I run it under gdb, it works just fine.  Does gdb handle floating point exceptions
in some special way.> 


Any suggestions would be helpful.
