Hi,

	I am running FreeBSD 2.1 with linux_emulator. However, I get
floating exception and core dump frequently while my netscape-2.01 
connect to http://www.netscape.com until 12% done. Sometimes, I wrote a
short c++ program and compiled it by g++ -g, when I run it, I got floating
exception and core dump, too.  If I use gdb to view it, I got 

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
0x8193aa7 in ldexp ()

and that error occurs earlier than the first line of executable C code.
I wonder if something wrong in my ld, or kernel?

Thanks a lot.
Greg. 4/6/96
