Sorry lisa to use your address.

Anyone with a PPro and a high level language or two feel lik testing out this bug? Just to test how the runtimes of the compilers handle the exception.

Its not difficult. The hex numbers that cause the bug are on ww.x86.org.

Something like:

main()
{
long float x = C0e6. ...; /*the bit pattern */
int i;
i = (int)x;
printf("the integer value is %i",i);
return();
}

Sorry my 'C' is a little rusty!
