Simply put, I compile this:
---
main()
{
  int i;
  srand48(7769);
  for (i=0; i<20; i++)
    printf("%g \n", drand48());
}
---
run it, get several numbers near to 0 (Ex: 8.32456E-315) then get:
---
Floating exception - core dumped
---
This is on Bell Tech SV3.2u with the BT S/W Dev Platform.   What the hell
am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it. Please mail answers directly to me.
Thanks in advance. -- SMY
