Subject: Which floating exception is that?

The generic response to a floating point exception ("Floating exception")
is not particularly informative.  Is there somebody out there who can
explain to a person not very wise in the ways of the fpu (namely, me)
how it is possible to determine what sort of floating exception has
occurred, and display a more informative message?

Thanks for any help,

Mark.
