The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
This article was previously published under Q104537
SYMPTOMS
Applications that divide by zero (0) or enable the trap flag without
installing their own interrupt handlers may stop responding (or
display a DIVIDE OVERFLOW error) under MS-DOS 6.0.
These applications work correctly under previous versions of MS-DOS
and also work under MS-DOS version 6.2 and later.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when the MS-DOS interrupt vectors become
corrupted.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS version 6.0.
This problem was corrected in MS-DOS version 6.2.
