I see this has been covered earlier...

[JP Massar] [QUOTE]

Corman is not doing evaluation. Corman always
compiles everything, even things you type into it interactively.

So the Corman compiler is walking over the form (/ 1 0), noticing 
that
it is composed completely of constant forms, and trying
to collapse the expression into a single value, much as it would
collapse (+ 1 1) at compile time into '2'.

But it doesn't currently test whether its attempt to collapse the
expression succeeds or fails; if the expression it is collapsing
causes an error, that error is allowed to be signalled at compile
time.

Would an attempt to evaluate t fail ?
