When I use a cross-compiler gcc-dos 2.8.1 from HP-UX 10.20 to MS-DOS 6.22
the exe file runs O.K. sometimes but sometimes stops with

"Exiting due to signal SIGFPE
 Floating point exception at eip=0000176e"

Compiling the C-program with gcc 2.8.1
 gcc     -o prog     -Wall -O2 prog.c -lm
 gcc-dos -o prog.exe -Wall -O2 prog.c -lm
produces *no* warnings
and prog runs always O.K. in HP-UX
so I hoped it is well written and portable.

Have you come across this error ?

Thank you
