Congratulations, you have a seriously broken installation.  Did you
compile it yourself?  Which compiler did you use?  I believe python
2.2 will work better on HP-UX than any previous release, so you may
want to wait a few weeks for that to be released.

Or you could try compiling floatobject.c without optimizations; that
seems to help sometimes (but not on HP-UX, I thought).

Cheers,
M.
