Same goes for a /260 under Ultrix and NetBSD 1.2G.  Thinking I'd test
another FP intensive program (one that tests primality of 1,000,000+
digit numbers) I got a surprising result - it didn't even run!

This program was compiled under Ultrix using the MIPS compiler with the
-mips3 option.  So I guess the ultrix emulation isn't perfect.  Is this
something I should pr?
