That seems like you have a mixed-up F4 compiler/runtime.
On my system (SIMH) I get the same results, FPP enabled or disabled.
Don't know how to enable/disable EAE on SIMH, unfortunately.
What you're getting means that the compiler, runtime, and libraries are
not from the same release.

Hmm...I was using the exact same RK05 image in both SIMH and the real
machine.
I've been informed that "set cpu noeae" will disable the EAE.
Just tried it with that...and there's the problem. No FPP or EAE seems like
a bad combination for running FORTRAN IV code that does any bit of math
operations.
From SIMH (with EAE and FPP disabled):

Maybe someday I'll delve into why it doesn't play nicely with such math
without EAE and FPP.
So, in summary, either EAE or FPP (or both) works fine. Without at least
one, don't count on any floating point math to be right (based on my
limited assessment).
Surely this must've been known about 40+ years ago...right?
