Why there is a SetExceptionMask?
Probably to override the same thing already done by (implicitly used)
libraries, e.g. gtk2

Because setting the mask means telling the processor to generate (or not to
generate? I forgot) SIGFPE for the given operations. e.g. exZeroDivide may
trigger SIGFPE if there's a division by zero with floating point operation.

Most likely it is your GTK+ theme. Many GTK+ themes and theme engines abuse
floating point calculations which go unnoticed normally since the vast
majority of C/C++ programs do not check for them. The solution is to do
something like (IIRC):
SetExceptionMask([]);
Which disables all floating
