Floats in squeak...

Hello, I'm having trouble with my leenooks VM, It totally messes up
whenever it has to deal with any kind of FP stuff. (I have seen many FP
related failures in every squeak configuration I have tried).

Today, I took a fresh 3.6 beta immage and attempted to use "upgrade to
3.6 full" and the thing blew up when it was trying to do something with
some class called "fisheyemorph" or something similar... Apparently it
was attempting to truncate what it thought was a float number but the
number had been read as "not a number" (NaN)... 

Apparently some critical setting regarding x86 FP stuff is not being
initialized by the current configuration scripts.

What information do you need to see from me?
