Snag -- on ppc, the exception bits in the control word are user writable, but to get a SIGFPE interrupt, 'privileged' bits in the 'MSR' need also be set. On GNU/Linux, this is done via a prctl syscall. Somehow I doubt this is the same on the older mac. In any case, I no longer have access to a ppc mac, so I'm stuck.
