On other systems, more consistent with current
terminology, I have seen and can imagine:
   arithmetic exception (good but vague)
   fixed point exception (better)
   integer div zero (best)

Anything referring to floating point is simply wrong
(and suggests a basic lack of understanding on the
part of the author).
