In version 5.1 of the Microsoft C compiler, they distributed a patch for
ibmbio.com to solve this problem.  It seems there is a known bug with
the floating point exception signal in IBM PC DOS, and MS DOS.  I don't
know about the legality of distributing this patch on the net, but if it
is legal, I would be happy to post it in some fashion for your benefit.
