OK - I just did a quick scout around. Digital Unix gives a SIGFPE;
Solaris, AIX and Redhat print some captalisation of "Inf"; HP/UX
prints "++.000000" ;-)
Is there a way of setting the control word which is in any sense
portable? Most machines I've looked at seem to have no documented
way of setting what exceptions should be masked, and each one that
does has a different set of calls.
