 Right.  Dumping sucks in many ways.  There's plenty of confusion in
 the source too. 
Hmmm, there's no crew who saves sinking FreeBSD.
Here's my adhoc & dirty patch for the problem, for the time being.
I'm not sure that the problem is FreeBSD specific or not.
The code is still working around 12 hours.

	* alloc.c: (make_float) Avoids FPE when dumping xemacs, not
	  using signal handler.  This code should be removed when the
	  real problem is cleared.
