<<If the software program (or thread) "crashed" or "failed", there would be no problem (except the program wouldn't work!) The real issue is that the program would CONTINUE to work but with corrupted data in the Floating Point Pipeline.>> Again, anybody who writes such a program deserves what he/she gets. I don't think it is the job of the processor to provide for a programmers mistakes, even though debugging support is provided to some degree. regards Anthony
