Hi:

  does anybody know, or can point me to, a recipe how to disable floating
point exceptions? We are getting trapped by an INEXACT f.p. exception
thrown by an FPU in a vendor driver module, that we cannot modify.
BlackBox is handling this exception, what means we cannot use the driver.
If we could ignore the xception rather than handle it, we could then use
the driver.

I do not see any obvious place to change the exception handler behavior.
Any hints will be most welcome.

Wojtek
