	Hmm...  Come to think of it, I'm running Linux binaries for all three of 
those programs.  There's a netbsd binary of Scheme, but that crashes my 
whole damned system.  (Probably more a fault of whoever compiled that 
version than my system, but I'll check into that anyway.)  There's also a 
directory called inbsdbin within the maple directory on afs, but when I 
tried running Maple out of than it said it was Maple for Linux and I got 
the same error.
	I'll definitely try to get my hands on some working NetBSD binaries of 
these programs and see what happens.  I imagine I might just end up going 
to Linux for the time being, though.
	Can anybody confirm math_emulate's apparent incompatibility with Linux 
binaries and/or suggest a fix/hack/kluge (aside from buying a coprocessor 
or a new cpu).
