[Dxspider-support] DxSpider 1.42 crash

[Dirk Koopman]

I noticed that you had another divide by zero problem this evening in
AnnSpot.pm. Now I don't normally do this but I seriously think you have a
machine or perl problem here.

$d = $main::systime / 60;

CANNOT produce a divide by zero error. 60 != 0 and in any case $main::systime
is also never zero in AnnTalk.pm (not that it would matter if it were):

0/60 = 0

What would be a problem is x / 0 which is infinity and would cause a divide by
zero error.

Since 60 is a constant, it can never be zero, so it can't produce the error
you report, therefore there must be a bug.

Now AFAIK Ichiro in Japan is also using sparc Linux and doesn't have this
problem. I will ask him specifically and see what he says.
