Hello all!
	I've been experiencing the same troubles listed in previous posts.
I'm using a Cyrix 387 (for a 386-16 Don't laugh).  cc1 kept exiting with
signal 6 as someone said was happeneing with the ULSI.
	Anyone else had any trouble with the Cyrix 387SX chip?  I'd like
(again, don't laugh) to get the mtv raytracer to run with the chip.

Thanks for your cpu time.
