Re: Divide by zero in Lua 5.2 alpha

Hi Liam,

I believe this might be Borland (Inprise) specific behaviour.
They set up the floating point to give exceptions, rather than returning 
inf.

To disable them, please do

#include <float.h>
_clear87();
_control87(MCW_EM, MCW_EM);

Thanks,
Dimiter "malkia" Stanev.
