No problem!  Yes, unfortunately calculating 1.7976931348623158e+308
(DBL_MAX) requires 64-bit doubles*.  This works just fine on x86-64,
but x86-32 defaults to 53-bit precision.  However, it would be
possible to only change the precision if we get into the range of
values where it becomes a problem, though that might be a little
complicated to do properly.

Would you like that as a separate patch or part of this one?

Best,
Erich

* I am unaware of a way to multiply 1.7976931348623158 by 1e+308 with
53-bit doubles.
