PIII floating point woes revisited

For chuckles I tried the Free Pascal Compiler and it also causes the
exception at the same exact address.

It must be a MS or Intel specific error.

I guess I'll load Linux on one of them and see if it dumps core next.

Could you copy me the FPC code? I'll make sure it gets into the Free Pascal
compiler testing suite.

Hi,

Have you got a URL to where one could get this compiler?

Thanks,
Jim

www.freepascal.org, questions to the maillists, the Free Pascal community
site, or to me.
