Tough one. Have you tried to write a small test program that does
multiplication and division and see if it works alright? If it does, the
problem is likely to be in the program you are writing for your
assignment.

(BTW, I just downloaded gcc3.2 source & compiled the same on my P4 that
runs RH 7.3. A program that involves the basic arithmetic operations
runs without problems when compiled with this new compiler. And, with
the right options the code is _fast_. Beats gcc2.95 by 35-45%!)
