No kidding. However, it seems to me that either SIGILL, SIGIOT or
SIGBUS (in decreasing order of personal preference) would be a better
signal than SIGFPE; I think it is reasonable that a program should be
able to expect that receiving a SIGFPE means an FP exception has
occurred.
By the way, how does one turn on FP exceptions (ideally, specific IEEE
exceptions) under Linux/i386?
