You need to set the FPU so that FP exception generation in case of such 
illegal operations is disabled.  DJGPP v2 has a function calle 
`_control87' to do that.  I don't know whether v1.x had it.

I would suggest to change your source to not divide by zero in the first 
place, though.  Not every platform will let you get away with this, you 
know.
