...but I neglected the possibility of compiler expression optimization.  I
replaced "1E200L * 1E200L" with "d * d" where d is initialized with 1E200L. 
Voila, SIGFPE results and is trapped the way I wanted to.

I'm still looking for a way to similarly handle integer overflow exceptions.
Thanks,

..mark
