Say I want to handle floating point exceptions in a program
(compiled with DJGPP). If the program has a handler for SIGFPE's 
that directs the program to clear the directly affected
variables, and then the program runs _control87() to clear
FPU registers, and returns from the function where the
offense occured, is that enough? I mean, can (should) I expect 
the program to continue without crashing?
Is there some good documentation/examples to follow?
