I've noticed in one of my applications that the first FP operation after
return from a caught SIGFPE is invalid. I have a signal handler installed that
just prints out some basic info (like "SIGFPE caught"). The first FP op after
this (in my case, converting a long to a double) just gives garbage. Repeat
the same statement and it gives a sensible result. Has anyone else seen this
before I file a PR with code to reproduce the problem?
