trap 19 is SIMD floating point error. (sse or mmx.) it's no longer reserved. it's quite curious that x87 floating point would generate such an exception in plan 9 gives the following error (even with sse enabled) ; echo 1.75e308+1.75e308 | hoc hoc 17322: suicide: sys: fp: numeric overflow fppc=0x30f4 status=0xb988 pc=0x3b65 i wonder if vx32 translates floating point to sse or mmx? if so, the trap should be translated back. > > but on linux > > echo 1.75e308+1.75e308 | hoc > +Inf this is caused by different fcr settings: see getfcr(2). - erik
