- I'm looking for a 486DX-33 motherboard, and the best price I can find
- is DEE ONE SYSTEMS (p. 926, Aug 92 Computer Shopper: $486). However,
- some 486 motherboards don't handle floating point errors correctly,
- and I'd like to get one that does.
-
- If you have one, can you tell me if the following C program returns a
- floating point error or hangs the system (one of these things will
- happen)?

- d = 0.0;
- d = 1.0 / d;
