<p class="MsoNormal">If I compile paranoia.c with the -lm option in an Intel machine (outside of Qemu), I get 1 defect and 1 flaw. One of the two occurs in the point where Qemu hangs. I would expect a similar behaviour when I execute the same code on Qemu/i386
using a single RTEMS task, probably with a lot more errors.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I comment out the specific part of the code, paranoia runs till the end, producing a lot more defects, flaws, etc (around 11 in total) indeed. This is expected. It is the hanging that puzzles me and the fact that it doesn't hang in the
previous case (Intel machine), or when compiling&executing the exact same code in a SPARC machine. <o:p></o:p></p>

In case you floating point operations are not fully IEEE 754 conform the paranoia program my hang in infinite loops.
