That's really rather surprising.  Given that the manual recommends that
users explicitly check for zero to avoid this exception, why isn't the
compiler simply inserting the check for them where it happens to be
necessary, and optimizing it out when it is not?  Turning off the
check can be another one of those no-belts-no-bags-no-bumpers compiler
flags that some people are so fond of.
