I thought that on a Vax with 4.2 there was a whole set of signal
codes (plus one signal) which is used for floating point errors.
Why not pick the appropriate signal along with its code and send
it out?  I do not know how to get the code of the error in with
the signal since I do not remember that with the kill call but
in any case, I would make it an "interrupt" not a error or flag
which must be tested everywhere.
