Description fjoe 2000-07-06 06:50:00 UTC 
acroread4 and other linux applications dump core with
"Floating point exception" because
src/sys/i386/include npx.h rev 1.18 was not merged to RELENG_3

Fix: 

merge src/sys/i386/include npx.h rev 1.18 was not merged to RELENG_3
How-To-Repeat: run acroread4 installed from
/usr/ports/print/acroread4 on any 3.5-RELEASE machine

----------------------------
revision 1.18
date: 2000/03/10 17:56:33;  author: cracauer;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -35
Change the default FPU control word so that exceptions for new
processes are now masked until set by fpsetmask(3).

This changes the behavior of FreeBSD, and probably isn't the best thing
to do to an allegedly stable, constant branch.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Note that rev 1.18 of npx.h was not a bugfix, but a change in 
policy.  It's been decided that it's unwise to apply this change 
in policy to the mature RELENG_3 branch.
