I am using version 2.3, and considering buying 2.4 on a 286. I spent the better part of this evening trying to isolate a bizarre situation whereby a double panics the system. Using sdb, the system panics on apparently innocent statements like: if (dbl < 0.0) someint = 1; Can anyone shed any light on the nature of this problem? For the most part, I find our code compiles flawlessly, but then again we have to be very conservative to keep all other destination machines happy. TIA, Robert White rcw@scicom.alphaCDC.com P.S. a 80287 is installed, but I have experienced similar problems before we bought the chip.
