Actually, I think the floatbug affected only some gcc 3.3 optimized builds, in 
which the image would blow up on the first floating point math.

I think that what helped your build is re-building from the new VMMaker 
sources.

I believe the Ephmeron code that was in the VM at one point is what is causing 
these problems with newer images, and it's been fixed in the later VMMaker.
