>Description:

fpsetmask()  (from <ieeefp.h>) dumps core everytime on alpha's
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
The following program always dumps core on fpsetmask().

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ieeefp.h>

int main()
{

        printf("About to call fpsetmask(0x00)\n");
	fpsetmask(0x00);
	printf("Returned from fpsetmask(0x00)\n");

	exit(0);
}

% gcc -o tst tst.c
% ./tst
About to call fpsetmask(0x00)
Abort (core dumped)


>Fix:

I unfortunately don't know how to fix it and also have no workaround.
