I am in the unfortunate position of needing to port code that worked
nicely on ACL 5.0.1 (NT 4.0) to CMUCL 18a (HP-UX) for a student to use
in his research. I have no clue what the following error message
means. It happens in different locations within a function, so I am
especially confused.
What is the error message really telling me?
;;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error in function HPPA:SIGCONTEXT-FLOATING-POINT-MODES:

Yikes! It looks like it means you got a floating point exception for some
reason. And the HP port of CMUCL doesn't decode the sigcontext for the reason
for the exception. (That is a bug but since no one is supporting the HP port
anymore, I don't think it'll get fixed. (I no longer have access to HP
machines.)) You might be able to do a backtrace and see where the floating
point exception is coming from.
