Mathematica does indeed the same for "0/x". It may be a convention, so I guess there is no room to freak out because "it's just wrong!". But it makes me sad, since I will not be able to avoid a feeling of insecurity when substituting variables that I didn't have before :( Isn't there a way to answer with an "undetermined" in those cases?
