13.2.5 Signed Integer Division and Integer Overflow
---------------------------------------------------

Overflow in signed integer division is not always harmless: for example,
on CPUs of the i386 family, dividing ‘INT_MIN’ by ‘-1’ yields a SIGFPE
signal which by default terminates the program.  Worse, taking the
remainder of these two values typically yields the same signal on these
CPUs, behavior that the C standard allows.
