Question, are you using the FPU on the pentium under linux, or are you
using the fpu emulator built into linux? You may want to check thru your
kernel compile. I believe the emulated kernel avoids this sort of problem,
while the pentium may not.. you mileage may vary.

should be easy to fix tho *grin*

if (store_swap_high = store_swap_low) {
        print (store_swap_high - store_swap_size)
} else {
        print (store_swap_high - store_swap_size) / (store_swap_high -
store_swap_low)
}

or something like that *grin*
