OK, here's another try, with a little more information...
I am experiencing a problem with Spice (both 2g6 and 3) on a VAX
750, running Ultrix-32 V3.0 (Rev 64). I am getting the following
error message:
*** Arithmetic Exception: Floating point overflow
*** Execution terminated
Tracing it down a bit, the real problem appears to be corruption of
SPICE's VALUE() array, which it uses for data storage.
This problem did not occur under Ultrix V2.x.
It appears to be a problem within the operating system, as it happens
with the binaries which worked at V2.x, as well as with binaries (2g6)
built with the current version.
Many of our Spice decks cause this to happen. Has anyone else seen this?
Do you have a fix for it?
Related to this, of course: does anyone know of any memory allocation
problems in Ultrix 3.0? Any idea of when 3.1 will be out?
Thanks in advance,
