I am still running into problems with floating point. It works fine

For instance, a variable that only has +=, -= and = applied to it
sometimes turns into a NaN.

the best way of debugging problems at this level. Any suggestions?
I remember having to debug some stuff here before. It isn't nice!
hal/i386/arch/current/include/arch.inc is where the fun is.
Another question - I'm I correct in assuming that the built in libm
functions are not overridden with hardware-supported functions (fsin
on x86, for instance)?
Correct.
