Most likely a bug in your code. SIGFPE is raised when math errors
occur-- sqrt(negative) and division by zero are the most usual causes. 
The traceback should help you find where the problem lies.

If you can't find anything, try to reduce the program to the smallest
that reproduces the problem, and post it.
