Bug Description
[ Impact ]
Endeavour crashes when left idling in the background with the following message: SIGFPE: integer divide by zero.
My patch fixes the divide by zero crash by checking if n_messages is greater zero before performing the division.
[ Test Plan ]
1. Start Endeavour
2. Let it idle in the background (for a possibly long time)
Endeavour should not crashes.
[ Where problems could occur ]
Since Endeavour crashed with an n_messages value of 0 before, it might be possible that show_message() can not handle 0 in some cases. The remainder in the calculation could always have been 0, so I assume this case is working.

Here is a package branch with the patch: https:/
I built the package from this branch and installed it. Everything seems to be working fine, tested it for several days now and it does not crash anymore.
