Mathematics is exact science and clearly define that dividing by zero is undefined, thus this is clearly fundamental bug.

Dr. Parisse?

No, some branches of mathematics do define dividing by zero as infinity so it's not a bug. It's just using a different branch of mathematics than you're used to seeing.
