Can this problem occur on XLS parsing?
It occurs when turning a very small floating point number from base 10 to
base 2. I can't think of a case when reading in an excel file where we
have effectively a string representation for a double that we process. I
think in all cases we read in single bytes worth of values and shift them
to make larger ones.
So, I think it only affects writing
That said, I wonder what excel itself does with numbers around the 64/80
bit boundary...
