> Hi all,
> 
>   please review this change that fixes a div-by-zero in calculating liveness for logging.
> 
> It is possible that the young gen group cardset is empty (has no regions assigned to it as no eden region has retired yet) when the `Cleanup` pause starts, making the liveness calculation divide by zero.
> 
> The change special-cases this case when printing - I decided to always print the group in this case, regardless of length, just fudging the output value a bit. An alternative would be not printing it at all in this case. Feel free to argue for that solution. Also the printed value for liveness (0.0%) is up for discussion.
> 
> Testing: failing test case does not fail any more now and then, gha, tier1-4
> 
> Thanks,
>   Thomas
