I think the current behaviour (trapping) is more useful for
most programs. Programs that can handle IEEE arithmetic
should do something special to check and get it at confiuration
time since it is not guaranteed.
The change similar to mapping page 0 and putting 0's there so
that strcmp("foo", NULL) works right.
Surely such a simple change that might help some people
is worth puting in now? ;-)
