FreeBSD/i386 signals exceptions for these conditions but FreeBSD/alpha doesn't (to be compatible with OSF1). I think they should be disabled on i386 too (we have an api for enabling them for people that really want them). Perhaps a sysctl for a global preference. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
