Subject: floating point exception when using g.region

Platform: Linux/Alpha64
Linux distro: Debian
linux cpu: Alpha64
Xwindows version: XFree 4.1.0
Xwindows manager: KDE 2.x
TclTk version: tcl/tk 8.3
grass downloaded at: Baylor site
grass binary for platform: I compiled the sources myself
grass sources source: no, I got a source code package from the server, 
5.0.0pre2
c compiler name: gcc

I get a Floating point exception when trying to print a region using 
g.region where the north bound is 90 or the south bound is -90 (lat lon 
projection)

Looking at the code the problem seems to lie in the geoid distance 
calculations... and locally I have moved the distance initialisation code so 
it is only performed when a distance has been asked for rather than all the 
time as it seems to do at the moment...

Log follows:
