Has ANYONE gotten perl to compile on (yes believe or not these still do
exist) a Plexus P/75 running System V.2.  This is both perl Version 3.0
patchlevel 0 and patchlevel 18 (i think that is the latest).  When I run
the test base.lex test 5 which is the floating point operators (IE eval)
gives me a:
	"perl: Floating exception -- Core dumped".

Running adb on perl with the core file and doing a stackback trace (ie
$c) gives me:
	"_psignal(7feb90,10001,6f)+16
	 dtoi(7fffffff,c1800000,427f4)+34
	 _scanstr(40c04)+32e
	 _yylex(42258)+143c
	 _yyparse(0)+14c
	 _main(2,7fed6c,7fed78,2)+aec".
	 
Now the first thing that strikes my eye is that the one paramater
7feb90.  Now this MAY just be a coindence but I am not sure.  Oh one
other thing, this is using a motorola 68020 chip.

CAN ANYONE HELP!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
