	Hello again,

	I just compiled 2.24 xscreensaver and every now and then I get:

pid 1660 (discrete), uid 1000: exited on signal 8 (core dumped)
pid 1692 (flame), uid 1000: exited on signal 8 (core dumped)
pid 1970 (flame), uid 1000: exited on signal 8 (core dumped)

	So, I do grep in /usr/include/sys/signal.h:

#define SIGFPE  8       /* floating point exception */

	So, now the question I have is (and sorry if this sounds stupid):
can I give cc some compiler flag so I won't get floating point exception
errors? Or maybe there is something else I can do to fix it? Thanks,

-- Yan (Please cc: me)
