What PowerPC systems trap on divide by zero?

Actually from this article I don't see that exception is happening in the Firmware. I'm very surprised, but our tests on RS/6000 (PReP) and Beige Rev 1 (thanks dreadbit for testing that!) show that PPC firmware allows division by zero:

It would be interesting to know what happens on a CHRP platform.
