I tested the program on kithrup, once with the fpu recognized, once with the
fpu disable (booting with 'ignorefpu' at the boot: prompt).  It failed both
times, as I'd expected.  (Hey, I was being paranoid before I posted, what
can I say? 8-))  This was under SCO UNIX 3.2v2.

Hmm... I think I shall ask someone about 386BSD 8-).
