Hello all,

======================
#include 
#include 

double zero=0.0;

main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
{
 _fpreset();
 printf("MASK1=%X\n",_control87(0,MCW_EM));             // 0x362
 printf("1111\n");
 printf("%f\n",1.0/zero);
 printf("2222\n");

 _fpreset();
 printf("MASK1=%X\n",_control87(0,MCW_EM));             // 0x362
 printf("1111\n");
 printf("%f\n",1.0/zero);
 printf("2222\n");
}
=======================

this program exectutes a 1.0/0.0 with enabled FLT-DIV-By_ZERO exception. so
it should fail on the first division.

i've tested this program on 20 machines and it is ok on 18 of them (ok
means == it fails on the first division). except on 2 machines it says:

MASK1=362
1111
INFINITY     < !!!!
2222
MASK1=362
1111
exception c0...95 ...


I've EXCHANGED (!) the motherboard+cpu+memory between a failing and a OK
machine after the first test serie and the behaviour does NOT chance. still
the machines which fails the test fails it with the other mother board and
vv. 

i can't see any common / special SW components installed on the 2 failing machines. 

(eq: one of failing is WARP GA one is WARP GA+FP17. and the ok machines are
also some GA, some GA+FP17).

any ideas? 


 WARPED!, Mario
