Any chance this is some 9vx issue? I tried the test code below it worked in 9grid.jp ,but gave the following message in 9vx 8.out 89: suicide: sys: trap: 19 (reserved) pc=0x00001067 #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h> void e_hand(int sig) { printf("Signal"); return; } int main() { double a, d; d = 5.0; signal(SIGFPE, e_hand); a = 1/(d-5); return 0; } -- http://www.fernski.com
