A wierd travelling Floating-Point Exception

Hi everyone,

    I am writing a fairly large sized program, and I have come across a bad
problem.  I think Delphi 4 has a bug in the compiler, because when I run my
program, a FPE occurrs at a specific line of code, and then, when I comment
out that code, the FPE shows up in a later part of my code.  The exception
moves around, probably aligning itself to a relative position.

If I step forward, instead of the execution jumping out of the procedures to
the next exception-handling block of code, the execution jumps to a wierd
position in the calling procedure, not even near an try-except block, as if
the position of the debugger is off.  There isn't even any buggy code.

What do I do!

    - Max Jagger.
