So I'm not surprised the exception handler is a mess. It's a domain built entirely out of corner-cases.

I remember a tank game called Scorched Earth where you would have to set angle & power to try to hit the other person's tank. Some ordinances took a 10-15 seconds to fire & complete because it was running FP ops on the CPU. Once the 387 was installed, this calculation was done almost instantly. That's about all I remember my FPU being good for. LOL good times!
Me and my siblings had a house rule to not use either when playing on our 286 because it took a minute or so to complete...
