Hi there...
	I'm posting this for a friend (truly). He's got this
humunguous program which does a lot of calculations (floating
point), uses overlays and seem to work (using the floating
point emulator lib) until one runs it with a co-processor
which it falls over on.

Error number I6101 (a floating pt exception) on a MS C 5.1 compiler
Toshiba 1200 with a 8087 co-processor.
Seemed to work again when running under codeview and when
co-processor turned off. Program is a large model.

Is there any documented problems with use of floating point
libs with overlays?

Many thanks in advance,
Chai.
