[LON-CAPA-users] Illegal division by zero

[Rex Abert]

This *could* happen if the server has multiple CPUs, and the scripts are being run in parallel on different CPUs.  My advice about combining the scripts into one script would fix that, however.

It looks to me like the 2nd script is being executed before the 1st one.
I have no idea how that could happen, but you could check that by
setting a useless variable to a different value in the 2 scripts, wait
for another bomb, and check the value.

If it is the case, you would avoid the bug by defining all the variables
in one script (but please tell us so we can chase the bug).
