?? Why do so many programs using math functions fail on my AlphaStation?
{AO} The functions floor() and floorf() use an instruction that is not
implemented in some old PALcodes of AlphaStations. This may cause
`Illegal Instruction' core dumps or endless loops in programs that
catch these signals. Updating the firmware to a 1999 release has
fixed the problem on an AlphaStation 200 4/166.
