This is not true for the PPC OS X implementation.  Only null pointer 
accesses are
converted to NPEs.

The rest of David's analysis applies, well except for the SIGFPE part 
for integer math.
On PPC (and most other targets), function calls are made for divides as 
the target
does not raise a trap for undefined code unlike x86.
