Subject:	Floating point exceptions (Was Re: [Caml-list] Weird behavior with nan's and min/max)

Here's another question:  is it possible to catch floating point
exceptions such as division by zero?  It seems like that might be another
way of dealing with this.  I thought catching SIGFPE would do it, but I
tried and I couldn't seem to get it triggered.  Is it possible to convert
floating point exceptions to ocaml exceptions?
