Good point and worth reviewing, but AFAIK divide by zero crash reports ( at least in OS X 10.6/10.7 ) actually say "divide by zero" ). See excerpt below.

…
OS Version:      Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D50b)
…
Exception Type:  EXC_ARITHMETIC (SIGFPE)
Exception Codes: EXC_I386_DIV (divide by zero)

and Mike’s crash report looks like a memory overwrite/issue of some kind.

Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x00000000000210c0
