While diagnosing an MMX/FPU problem I found a minor problem in the code
which diagnoses and generates signals for FPU exceptions. On x86 Stack
Fault Exception are a subclass of Invalid Operation. Thus, the FPU status
register will have both the SF and IF bits set when a stack fault occurs.
The code which turns FPU exceptions into signals was assuming IF would be
clear:
