Same as the dissassembly that I see here:

|       fnstcw -2(%edx)

Store the CW in a temporary variable.

|#NO_APP
|       movzwl -2(%edx),%eax
|       andb $243,%ah
|       orb $4,%ah

This manipulates bits 10 and 11, that control the rounding behaviour.

|       movw %ax,-4(%edx)
|#APP
|       fldcw -4(%edx)

Load the CW with adjusted bits 10 and 11.

|       frndint

Rounding the float value to int, which likely causes a lost precision
exception. Because it does not, the PE mask must be set.

|       fldcw -2(%edx)

Load original CW. Now the exception happens, which indicates the PE
maskbit is cleared. I don't see how that can be. (you should check
that the disassembly in winedbg is the same as this code)

Moreover I cannot reproduce your failure (using gcc 2.95.4 and gnu as
2.11.90.0.1) If I set the variables to 0 and 0.0, no exception
follows.
