80387 Match Coprocessor Error

My brother is writing a program for his company that requires floating
point operations.  The program works flawlessly when running under
the emulation library (w/o coprocessor) but crashes when running with
a coprocessor.  The error he gets is an exception 6.  If it makes a
difference he wrote the program in Microsoft C 6.??.

I don't know the specifics of the problem, but would greatly appreciate
it if someone who is familiar with the 80387 could call my brother and
perhaps offer some advice to fix this problem.  He found the problem
on Saturday and has been working on this problem all day Sunday and Monday.

If you can think of anything that could help, or would like to talk to him,
send me E-Mail and I will send you his home and work phone numbers.

Let me just say again that I do not understand the problem - I've never
programed math coprocessors, or used C that much.  So please, if you can
help I will get you in touch with my brother.

Thank you in advance.

                                     Andy
