Don't we want to fail if the denominator is zero? That seems like a logic bug to me.

Actually let me wait until you have answered Mark's question about den == 0 being an error.

I thought so too, but the tricky bit is that logic bug, if it happens, happens way over during stats collection at Python runtime. If we fail hard here, we don't get any stats out at all. With this change, we know there is an error (the !!), but we can at least see everything else and attempt to fix the error within CPython.
