I'm having a problem with Turbo C++ version 1.0 on my Wyse 386 computer
(8/16 MHz), running PC-DOS 3.3.

Every Turbo C++ program that uses floating point hangs my system with the
message "Stack Overflow -- System Halted" when I run it.  A hard reboot is
required.

It doesn't matter whether I use the floating point emulation routines or
those that require the math chip.  The setting of the "87" environment
variable doesn't matter.  This even occurs in the following program ...

	int
	main(int, char**) {
		double x = 0.0;
		return (0);
	}


When I use floating point with Zortech C++, Meta Ware "High C", Microsoft C
(versions 3.0 through 5.1), Manx C, and the previous Turbo C (not C++)
release, this problem doesn't occur.  My math chip is working fine,
according to voluminous diagnostics I've run on it.

Has anyone else had this Turbo C++ problem on a Wyse 386?  Does anyone know
how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!
