 I have had this problem with the SCO Xenix C compiler.
 It is reproducable with the C compiler in FreeBSD 2.2.2
 It will happen when a routine which returns a float is not
 properly defined in another source file that uses that routine.
 Adding "double getdouble();" prototype in float.c fixes the problem.
 
 float.c
 main()
 {
 	int	i;
 	double	iD;
 	i=0;
 lp:	iD=getdouble();
 	i++;
 	printf("i=%d\n\r",i);
 	goto lp;
 }
 
 float1.c
 double	getdouble()
 {
 	double	iD;
 	iD=1;
 	return iD;
 }
 
 cc float.c float1.c -ofloat
 
 This program will perform 7 loops before crashing with a FPE.
 
 I hope this info helps.
