 From page 10-3 in the PA2.0 arch book, this seems to be the 
"unimplemented" exception.

Pages 10-8 and 10-9 goes on to say:
A conversion to a floating poiint format always causes an unimplemented 
exception when the result overflows, the result lies too far outside the 
range for the exponent to be bias-adjusted, and the overflow trap is 
enabled. [...]

Similarly, an unimplemented exception is always caused by a conversion 
to a floating-point format that underflows, lies too far outside the 
range for the exponent to be bias-adjusted, and the underflow trap is 
enabled.  [...]

Finally, the unimplemented exception is always signaled when the operand 
of a conversion to an integer format is a NaN. Low-level trap handlers 
may choose to silently deliver a result or convert it to an invalid 
exception.

Do any of these apply to your test case?
