      Try compiling

	#include <signal.h>
	signal(SIGFPE,SIG_IGN);

with Zortech C++.  You get a type error, because SIG_IGN is a null of
"C++" function type, and "signal" wants a "C" function value there.
The Zortech-specific syntax for declaring C and C++ functions 
doesn't, apparently, apply to casts.
