Synopsis : JVM Cored encountering SIGFPE

Customer reported that JVM cored having caught SIGFPE, info 0x6.
Available dumps are : The pstack, hs_err*, pldd, pargs files from core.

Initial analysis is that it failed when it is doing division :

> divss xmm0, ds:[eax]
> It could be that eax not a valid address, or the address containing
> 0 or very small number near 0.

> si_code = 6 is "float point inexact result".
> In hotspot, we only deal with two kinds of FPE exceptions:
> int div'ed by 0 and float div'ed by 0
