working on linuxemu I find perl seems to use floating point
in a signal handler - I have not worked out where or why as
getting debug symbols for perl is harder than I expected.
I understand note handlers are not alowed to use floating point,
but why is this - is it just for simplicity - "it was never needed so
we never wrote the code to support it", or is there a fundamental reason
why this is a no-no?
Thanks
-Steve
