Ok, that's good to hear.  Your info, along with Randolph's info that it
traps on the 8500, 8600, and 8700 CPUs, leads me to the same conclusion
as Randolph came to.  It looks like there's something wrong with the
fcnv emulation in the linux kernel's emulation handler, even though it
was derived from the hpux handler, where everything appears to work
fine.
