I had it working on a PICK 7800 system (this was years ago) and when I ported it to an IBM RS/6000, I had to re-write it and build in some pretty annoying compensatory tools so the math co-processor (if that's what it's called) couldn't mess my answers so badly that trust was lost. I don't remember what I did, but it was pretty lame to have to do it. So, if you are on an IBM system, you may have found the bug I found years ago.
