Hello
	I got a P100 motherboard to speed up my quantum chemistry 
calculations but I'm having a very strange problem.
	The same executable (GAMESS/95) running on my old 486DX33 works
fine but aborts with floating overflow with the pentium board. I've
tried several input test files and all give the same result. If I mask
the overflows the results are wrong on the P100 but still right on the 486.
	Both machines are running 2.0.5 and the program was compiled
under this version too.
	From the boot I got the following for the P100 (it has an Award
BIOS):

	Any ideas or help ? I've checked for the Pentium bug and it seems
	ok (no fdiv bug)

Thanks 

Pedro
