Why is this URGENT? although quite a few people use 486's none
have reported problems like your's so it isn't all that urgent I think.
But, to give more info about your question:
I used to have a CYRIX 486, that gave me floating point errors.
This apparently was due to a bug in the CYRIX (wasn't there with
other 486's or pentiums).
And, to reassure you: I've got quite a few 486-33 computers running here
with rahter recent "unstable" installations, none of them give
divide-by-zero errors.
