I believe that this is what is suppose to happen... you use SIGFPE to trap these errors and possibly rerun the function after correcting the problem.... acording to the math(3) man page an exception is suppose to occure on invalid values... so this is really a non-error correct? and this pr should be closed... i.e. acos(-2.0) is suppose to generate a SIGFPE else it isn't doing what math(3) says it will do...
