    Trying to GUESS if you are about to Div0 in

    now, not all processors have handy Div0
    exception handling ... I think even ARMs don't,
    or at least don't enable it by default. This

 A friend of mine has a favorite question:
          What could possibly go wrong?
 Maybe that question should be asked more often.
