Your right....just as I was to upload it, another core....seems that linux
doesn't like the adding of many int's and converting it to a double
all in one stroke.....I have yet to make a test program fail, but this
code dies in either suit/initial.c or suit/gp.c....I plan to hack at
it some more tonight....my first goal is to get it running then figure
out why this is.....is there floating bugs problems? I have a 486/33 DX
and said so on the install....I have SLS .98p5 (just installed the SLS
and haven't done any patches).
