Quite the contrary. The Ariane engineers examined the code in question,
concluded that it would behave correctly, and used a safe operation,
with no local handler in place for an exception at that point. That "safe"
operation detected the overflow and propogated the exception outward to a
handler which assumed that hardware failure had occurred.
