Indeed, from the command line lua client, it works fine.  I looked at 
the source for lua and cannot see it doing extra exception checks. 
Hum.. maybe there are compiler flags to disable floating point exceptions?

To make matters more complicated, my app is written in Delphi.  But I 
should be able to translate from C to Delphi pretty easy (if I could 
understand how the C works).

Thanks for the help
