This time I have an interesting problem. I have a 386SX33 MB with 4Meg RAM, COMATH, and 125M HD space for FreeBSD 1.1.5.1. I have been getting a lot of signal 8 crashes lately on my programs (for example, my Amylaar LPMUD gamedriver). I have recently rebuilt my kernel to support the COMATH, but the signal problem persists. I go into the crash cores with GDB and get info like: =========== Core was generated by 'parse'. Program terminated with signal 8, Floating point exception. Cannot access memory at address 0x806f040. #0 blah... =========== What else do I need to rebuild or patch to get rid of this problem?
