embedding octave - floating point exception

[Marco Driusso]

Thanks for the answers!
I've tried to wrap the octave interpreter entry points with those functions,
something like this:

    fenv_t curr_env;
    feholdexcept(&curr_env);
    octave_main(argc,argv,1);
    feupdateenv(&curr_env);

Debugging with gdb, I've founded that octave_main ends correctly (in the
previous case it stops when calling octave_ieee_init), but the program stops
when feupdateev is called; debugging I get:

   Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
   [Switching to Thread 0xb5cf96c0 (LWP 7791)]
   0xb7eb87b1 in feraiseexcept () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6

Some suggestions? I'm calling feupdateenv or feholdexcept in the wrong way?
Thanks again.

Marco
