Query on SIGFPE handling

[Jagadeesh Bhaskar P <jbhaskar@hclinsys.com>]

Hi,

I wrote a the small program, to c how signals can be caught by
customized routines.

/*********** start of code ********/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>

void fe(void){
	printf("floating pt exception:\n");
}

int main(void){
	signal(SIGFPE, (void *)fe);
	printf("%f\n", (1/0));
	return 0;
}

/********** end of code *************/

It goes on catching the signal infinitely, and if i didnt do the
customization of that signal handling, it comes only once and then
exits.

What is the reason? Isnt it supposed to generate a signal once per
event?

Someone please do reply,
