Now I am wondering how VMS handled this. Do VMS programs just get no chance to recover from arithmetic faults? That is, do whatever the VMS equivalent is to masking sigfpe in unix.
Was there ever a source drop for VMS on vax? Probably hard to impossable to figure out if not

interesting read, makes me think kernel programming isnt that much harder than app programming, just more manuals to read and hardware to understand.
edit: not to dismiss kernel programmers, you people are awesome!
Attention to detail is a lot more important. But the kernel is just a program.
try it :D its a lot of fun!
