Summary: "expr~ divide by zero detected" under if condition

Initial Comment:
using an expr~ object like:

[expr~ if($v1==0, 1, sin($v1)/$v1)]
|
[*~]

it produces a message in the Pd console:

expr~ divide by zero detected


although this may be correct from an internals point of view, what I did is explicitly catching the divide-by-zero, and replace it with a constant value.
so, why the message?

in addition, the message gets repeated many times (perhaps this is the most annoying thing, but not the centre of the problem)
