Yeah, that part is fine.  The one odd thing I notice as a glance
back at the code is that it uses -12(%ebp) and -16(%ebp) for
temporary storage, instead of using -4(%ebp) and -8(%ebp) like
the double versions.  That's probably a cut-and-pasto on my
part.  This would explain the SIGFPEs if an asynchronous trap is
causing the area just past the end of the stack to be overwritten,
since only 8 bytes of stack are reserved.  I'll take a closer
look in a week or so...
