If you want to raise the exception on the correct location you should insert an fwait opcode after every floating point operation which is very expensive. See what happens in the code that is calling the procedure. If any external code is involved, then you could consider masking some floating point exceptions. Freepascal (Delphi compatible) enables all exceptions which is not the default for fe. gcc. Use the SetExceptionMask function in unit mask for that.
