Summary: div 0 0 give exception / endless loop

Initial Comment:
There is a problem with the div in ghc, to reproduce:

start ghci and type div n 0 where n is any integer (so
div 3 0 would work)

on a linux box it gives a floating point exception
while on a BSD 4.4 box it gives and endless loop using
about 87 % of cpu.

I have verified this on both the latest release
(5.02.2) and 5.02.1.
