server1: redhat os with version 3 (taroon)
server2: redhat OS with version 5.4 (tikanga)

Is it problem with OS ?

It seems that some arithmetic operations is going on in your code and your system shell isn't able to display floating point number.

So can you once post that snippet of your code where it's doing arithmetic calculation? It would help us to debug the issue.

This can be caused by a 32/64 bit mismatch, an incompatible lib, outdated os or a lot of other things. You need to specify your environment, how did you build and run that software (compiler, commands, the code) and so on. (it can be hardware related too).
