>Originator:     Pedro Giffuni S.
>Release:        2.1.5
>Organization:
Universidad Nacional de Colombia
>Environment:
FreeBSD apolo.biblos.unal.edu.co 2.1.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE #0: Fri No6
>Description:
To port felt I had to mask the NaN due to FreeBSD's non-standard
behaviour of cumping this programs. Velvet, the graphical interface 
in felt's port, will block because it expects a NaN.
patch-ac is not a solution.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compare our felt with any other's (I compared with SGI's). The bug is 
also described in Martin Cracauer's web page.
>Fix:
I reported the problem to the author, but it's since the problem is
in the kernel, I would suggest a configuration flag that will let the
end user decide if he wants coredumps.
