Divide-by-zero has always been interrupt 0, and the page fault is at #14, and that hasn't been problematic...

BOUND does raise an exception if it fails but I think that's a good thing - if code is doing array bounds-checking, OOB accesses are very likely to be a bug (and possible security vulnerability) so aborting execution by default is the right thing to do.
