I think that the random numbers involved in this test cause a floating
point exception.  Do you have your processor set in a mode that
enables these exceptions?  The linux default mode is not to throw them
because there is nothing that can really be done to handle them in a
POSIX compliant manner.

Under linux, you can enable exceptions via:

	__setfpucw (0x1372);

function call.  To turn them off, use:

        __setfpucw (0x137f);

In any case, I should change the error messgae to indicate a floating
point exception.
