We have the same problem on our RaQ2.  From what I can gather, there is a 
floating-point problem with some RaQ2's but it can be solved by installing 
certain packages from the Cobalt site.  I believe it has something to do 
with "glibc" which needs to be updated.

I would be grateful if some kind soul could provide instructions for fixing 
the floating-point problem on the RaQ2, as I fear it will require quite a 
bit of installing/re-installing bits and pieces.

Thanks,

Glen
