Currently, I run into issues relatively often where
ported programs do something like 1.0/0.0 to generate
an infinity, or generally expect floating point code
to generate a NaN instead of trapping. While I like
our strictness for native programs, it may make sense
to provide APE programs a more normal environemnt.

Should we loosen our FP strictness, doing something
like

	setfcr(FPPDBL|FPRNR);

in our ape envsetup?
