Every once in a while I get:

zsh: 22124 floating point exception  top

on one of my machines. I don't really know what a floating point exception 
truly is - can someone enlighten me?

Zsh is:

zsh 4.0.2 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu)

--Jo

It means top crashed.  Linux's top is so crash-prone I always install
this wrapper script:

until top "$@" ; do sleep 1 ; done
