I believe that does work and that glibc uses it.  Not that that is the

FE0/FE1 based on the disposition of the SIGFPE signal is a good one.
There was some discussion about how we handle the exception flags
in FPSCR a long time (a year or more :-) ago.  A search of the
archives may turn up something (I haven't searched).  I know there
was a change to the library and the user ability to set this flags
way back then.......
