>Description:

Double precision division by zero produces a floating point exception.
(Yes I know things shouldn't do this, but some do as other OSs return Max
Int if you do this.) I assume this occurs because division is done as a 
a floating point operation?

>How-To-Repeat:

See above.

>Fix:
	
Either check for zero values, or don't use FP
