Randall - we saw some execution-time failures of 3.6.1 that was related to an older version of the nVidia driver. We didn't see floating point exceptions, though - we saw socket errors related to the client-server connection. Moving to a newer version of the nVidia driver on the client side fixed the problem. It doesn't make sense, but that's what happened! 8-)

If you are running it in gdb, you might be able to do:

(gdb) handle SIGFPE nopass
Signal        Stop      Print   Pass to program Description
SIGFPE        Yes       Yes     No              Arithmetic exception

or

(gdb) handle SIGFPE nostop nopass
Signal        Stop      Print   Pass to program Description
SIGFPE        No        Yes     No              Arithmetic exception

    I was unable to compile 3.4 against these libraries, compilation
    would fail with errors in the Python libraries about "-fPIC".

    I'll try again without MPI & Python, and get back with you.

        Can you try compiling without Python and MPI? Also, can you
        try with
        Mesa? I am guessing some system library is causing this
        problem but
        without a stack trace, it will be trial-and-error to find out
        which.
        Also, do older versions work with the same libraries?
