Yes, SIGPFE are floating point exceptions. See man signal. The question is if 
anybody have any clue why this happens on the Athlon for GPG. And how to fix.

As I wrote, gnupg doesn't work either since it never finishes generating the keys. Also, AFAIK there are some interoperability questions visavi PGP for gnupg.
