After adding code to emulate the FRND instruction I thought
I'd be done with FP, but I've been seeing unimplemented instruction traps
on FP instructions that I know are implemented (FSUB, FDIV).  Apparently
the FPU expects emulation to handle the exceptional cases of some
instructions (such as division by a very tiny number).  Don't count
on this to be fixed until sometime next week.
