The problem is that there is a BUG in the FP emulator, which means that
funny things happen when you try to work with infinity/NaN (which is what
generates the SIGFPE). As a consequence, setting the FP status/control
register does not work properly (in the "proper" program where I need to do
this - I have not actually tried it for this test case).
 
I posted the FPE bug report on csa.tech, and I have sent it to Acorn, but I
know of no work-around yet. (I won't re-post it here as it's long - Email me
if you missed it and want to see a copy).
