OK, some testing....

Floating point in Javascript on ARM seems to be badly broken -

document.getElementById("xa"+idx).value =
                depth * 100 /
                document.getElementById("ha"+idx).value;

which should be

0.5 * 100 / 3 = 16.66667 - and in fact shows up as 16.6667 in Firefox on 
x86 - shows up as -0.0003 just before konq crashes....

The big question is where is it broken?  Can the kjs folks look at it?

I can tarball the code I am using if that will help....  But for now I 
am going to walk around and clear my head....
