>Number: 2606 >Category: misc >Synopsis: FPE error on certain ports >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Jan 28 09:00:01 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Pedro Giffuni S. >Organization: Universidad Nacional de Colombia >Release: 2.1.5 >Environment: FreeBSD apolo.biblos.unal.edu.co 2.1.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE #0: Fri No6 >Description: To port felt I had to mask the NaN due to FreeBSD's non-standard behaviour of cumping this programs. Velvet, the graphical interface in felt's port, will block because it expects a NaN. patch-ac is not a solution. >How-To-Repeat: Compare our felt with any other's (I compared with SGI's). The bug is also described in Martin Cracauer's web page. >Fix: I reported the problem to the author, but it's since the problem is in the kernel, I would suggest a configuration flag that will let the end user decide if he wants coredumps. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
