It is disabled by default, I would say. To disable all floating point
exceptions, use (EXT:TRAP-FPE T NIL), as discussed in a different thread.

To selectively activate / deactivate exceptions, use the condition names:
division-by-zero, floating-point-overflow, floating-point-underflow,
floating-point-invalid-operation and floating-point-inexact as first
argument
