Why do you insist on writing buggy programs even *after* people here
have told you how to do it *right*?  Your problem was *exactly* that
you did NOT put the line with the prototype of `ReturnDouble' in the
file where it is called.  Without the prototype, the compiler assumes
that it returns an int, so you have your SIGFPE.  You *need* this
prototype, or else your program won't work.

As an aside, if you use the -Wall switch to gcc when compiling, it
complains about these cases.
