Daniele,

The problem with phase unwrapping is that it is unbounded, and will tend to
infinity.  Once it gets very big, when you try to add a small number to a
very big number, floating point loses precision.  Eventually, adding small
to extremely big returns the big number unchanged.  This isn't that useful.
