While making GB I  got:

cc -DVER_4.3 -pipe -g -c makeplanet.c
"makeplanet.c", line 289: compiler error: expression causes compiler loop: try simplifying
*** Exit 1

Stop.

this is line 289:
	s->fert = (float)(landsectors + 5) / (float)Numlandsects * 100;

here is the function it came from:

int Volcano(pptr,landsectors,Numlandsects)
planettype *pptr;
int landsectors,Numlandsects;
{
int x,y;
sectortype *s;

  (void)Getxysect(pptr,&x,&y,0);
  /*x = int_rand(0,pptr->Maxx-1);
  y = int_rand(0,pptr->Maxy-1);*/
  s = &Sector(*pptr,x,y);

  if (s->des==DES_SEA) {
    if (Numneighbors(pptr,x,y,DES_LAND)||Numneighbors(pptr,x,y,DES_MOUNT)) {
	s->des=(landsectors>(MAP_MOUNT_PERCENT*Numlandsects))?DES_LAND:DES_MOUNT;
	s->resource = round_rand((float)(Numlandsects - landsectors + 5) / (float)Numlandsects * 100);
		  /* min content prop to dist from sea */
	s->fert = (float)(landsectors + 5) / (float)Numlandsects * 100;
		  /* fert content prop to dist from center of continent */
       return(1);
    } else return(0);
   } else return(0);
}

could someone tell me how to fix this
