This is a known bug in the version of `redir' supplied with DJGPP
v2.02.  The bug is corrected in v2.03, so upgrade.

`redir' has no problems with FPU-less machines.  The bug which causes
this happens because `redir' reverts the FP exception to its default
state before running the program (so that if that program crashes due
to FP errors, `redir' won't crash with it), but when the child program
exits, the FP exception is toggled back too late...
