I don't know what the standards say, but other systems (at least SunOS)
do not issue floating point exceptions on divide by zero. Bug in FreeBSD?
Test program and outputs from FreeBSD and SunOS 4.1.4 below.

---testfpe.c---
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
void handler(int foo)
{
printf("handler\n");
}
double zero, one;
set()
{
zero = 0.0;
one = 1.0;
}
main()
{
double foo;
set();
signal(SIGFPE, handler);
printf("1.0/0.0\n");
foo = 1.0/0.0;
printf("%f\n", foo);
printf("0.0/0.0\n");
foo = 0.0/0.0;
printf("%f\n", foo);
printf("vars 1.0/0.0\n");
foo = one/zero;
printf("%f\n", foo);
printf("vars 0.0/0.0\n");
foo = zero/zero;
printf("%f\n", foo);
printf("done\n");
}

(The constant divisions are replaced by constants by gcc, I suppose)
