Summary: Unkown floating-pointer errno=4

Initial Comment:
The above error message is obtained spuriously when performing floating point calculations, which are 
being performed in event executed scripts.  The problem dosen't appear in the same piece of TCL code 
and may be related to CPU load / event frequency related.

Tracing this further, with minor testing it would appear likely that strtod under some circumstance(s) can 
return EINTR.  This problem was found on Mandrake 8.1/8.2 and RedHat 7.2 using various 2.4 provided 
kernels and gcc 2.96 and 3.1.0.

Could you provide a scriptlet that produces the error?
