        Idraw sometimes gets confused about the grid spacing, and
writes out an absurb Grid value (such as 1.00134163E-18) into the
file.  I have found that this is a very common cause for the
floating-point exception error given by idraw (there may be other
reasons I don't know of).  You can try bringing up the idraw file (it
is postscript) in an editor and search for the string "Grid". Set it
to "Grid 8 8", or some reasonable values, and that should solve the
problem.

1. idraw crashes with "Floating Point Exception" when saving documents

I'm running idraw under Linux (slackware distribution, 1.2.1 kernel)
on a 486DX4.  Idraw crashes with a Floating Point Exception
in the process of saving any document.

Any suggestions?  Is there some way I can turn of hardware FPU support
for just idraw?  Is there a problem with the 1.2.1 kernel FPU support?
Is there a more recent idraw distribution for Linux than the one that's
on sunsite in the slackware distribution?

Thanks for any help,
   -John
