$ man 7 signal
Signal Value Action Comment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIGFPE 8 C Floating point exception
C Default action is to terminate the process and dump
core.
So its not a kernel problem.
The NWFPE people need to look into this and determine if the FPE is
being over-eager, or whether the program startup code is enabling a
trap that it shouldn't be.
You could also try loading the Acorn FPE to see if this works any
better - its available on the ftp site. You'll need to insmod -f
it to get it to load however.
