:-) :-) :-)   test is a built in shell command.  try executing it as ./test
		or renaming it as fptest.

As to the compiler problems, we have a version of the compiler internally which
fixes most (if not all) of the known bugs - it still needs to be validated, so
don't expect it to be avaliable for a while.

I will post something here when the compiler is avaliable for outside use.
