Hi Anthony,
I rerun the program. The exception happens at 1023. The following is the screen
output and the dmesg from /var/log/message:
====== screen output======
iteration 1020 : a=(0, 0, -1020) :
iteration 1021 : a=(0, 0, -1021) :
iteration 1022 : a=(0, 0, -1022) :
Floating point exception
[root@localhost FPSWA]#
======/var/log/messages=====
Feb 6 11:21:13 localhost double_test: iteration #1020
Feb 6 11:21:13 localhost double_test: iteration #1021
Feb 6 11:21:13 localhost double_test: iteration #1022
Feb 6 11:21:13 localhost double_test: iteration #1023

fault at ip 4000000000000d32, isr 0000020000001001
Feb 6 11:21:13 localhost kernel: handle_fpu_swa: fp_emulate() returned -1
The attachment is the program.
