#542: int division by zero gives wrong results

 integer division by zero returns 0 rather then inf (or some other
 specially defined integer infinity constant). This behavior is not
 consistent with floats and is mathematically wrong.

 Example:

 >>> 1/int_(0)
 0
 >>> 1/float_(0)
 inf

 Is this a bug or there is some good reason why ints behave this way?
 I'm using numpy 1.0.1 and scipy 0.5.2
