I just installed a 8087 Floating Point Processor chip in my true-blue PC.  It
works great, except for one small problem.  When the 8087 returns an error,
the system hangs.  For example, when using Microsoft C and taking the log(0.0)
I get a message that says "log: SING error" and then everything hangs.

Can anyone tell my why DOS hangs and how to fix it.
