Can you show the output of this program: As mentioned before on this list, the kernel support for denormalized numbers (and infinity) on the EV56 died sometime after 2.4.27. Here's a link to the latest thread in which this came up again (back in October): http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2006/10/msg00064.html It is interesting to note that the denormalized/infinite behaviour is to also to always return zero. I wonder if it is the same thing that is effecting the EV4. Could all kernel math fixups be MIA due to the same thing?
