Cool.  Thanks for taking that extra step!

When that's done, would you please let me know?  I have two Mandriva 
2008.0 systems (both laptops with smallish hard drives) and two 
Mandriva 2007.0 systems (both quieted towers, one dual-core for music 
uses).  I don't usually build code on the 2008.0 machines, but I'll 
be happy to test Jazz++ on one of them in order to get to the bottom 
of the floating exception issue.

Yeehah!

Well now, that's not playing nice, is it?  ;-)

Great.  When I get something built over here, I'll see if I can 
duplicate the trouble.

I had been stalled out on the floating exception issue.  Now I have a 
reason to look again.  Let me know when the docs are ready and I'll 
fire up a laptop to try it.

Thanks!
