i found cause of this error:

#include <stdio.h>

int testdiv(int i, long k) {
        if (k == 0) printf("found divide by zero\n");
        return(i/k);
}

int main() {
        int i = testdiv(1,0);
        return(i);
}

when compile it without optimization, it works fine:
$ gcc t.c
$ ./a.out
found divide by zero
Arithmetic Exception (core dumped)

but optimization break it:
$ gcc -O3 t.c
$ ./a.out
Arithmetic Exception (core dumped)

Thanks a lot!
