i did not know about the traps. i guess there really are cases where you need to just continue after an underflow. having a way to suppress exceptions in a try/except would have been an alternate way. not all exceptions would be safe for that.
what raised my concern was the funny value that had a 0 mantissa. i remember ages ago having an HP-35 calculator where i found a way to get an invalid value like that and dividing a number by that would hard freeze the calculator (a divide by zero it failed to catch).
