[Ipopt] Arithmetic exception in IpOpt

[Miguel Angel Salazar de Troya]

Hi

My code implements a simulation using PETSc. I get some floating-point
exception so I decided to debug with gdb passing the PETSc flag -fp_trap to
catch the floating-point exception. However, my code runs into this
Arithmetic exception instead:

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.

I had a similar issue within my code and it turned out to be an underflow
problem. I would like to know if it is something similar in Ipopt.

On a related note, I'm not able to step into the Ipopt source files while
debugging. I'm using eclipse and I can't find the way to include the source
files so eclipse can display them. Does anybody know how?

Thanks in advance
Miguel
