OK, my cancel message obviously didn't make it around the net. Too Bad.
I got the floating point problem solved by reloading the software
development system a few hours after the original posting. Sorry
about the stir it made.

(At least I don't have to admit that XENIX is better!).

There is an occasision NMI error (about once a week) when the system
is under heavy load and using high memory. That must have caused the problem.
Cheap Korean RAM.
