But I am guessing that the line 509 is:

Yes this is the line that Windows reports the divide
by zero error.

boinc_cmd on both Windows and OS/2 do not return fpops
or rsc_fpops_est.  I captured both outputs into a text
file and searched for the phrase.

rexxrpc returns the following for Windows

    <p_fpops>832568688.373786</p_fpops>
  <rsc_fpops_est>60303256868631.898000</rsc_fpops_est>


rexxrpc returns the following on the ecs11 machine

      <p_fpops>306053743.037277</p_fpops>
  
<rsc_fpops_est>27924800000000.000000</rsc_fpops_est>


The fpops numbers make sense as Windows is a 2GHZ
pentium that throttles back but give fp benchmarks of
about 1000, while the OS/2 machine give fp benchmarks
of about 400.

AND NOW ITS WORKING FINE.   The WU has progressed to
about 45% complete.  The problems were observed when
the %complete was very low.

I turned ANSI off in the CFG file.

Good idea until we figure out how to make cmd /a work
to sttart a command window with ANSI commands turned
on in XP.
