Yet another...

 Don't call TRUNCATE with the divisor = 0

 [i.e. (truncate x 0) ]

This will crash you out of ACL & foul up the MAC enough to require a re-boot
to fix the resulting confusion...


Of course (truncate x 0) on a mac II with the same software does the 'right thing'
and tells you not to try division by zero...


your mileage may vary...
