Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment:
It's a bit cheap and nasty, but I think we could simply replace the line:
if (fabs(x) < 1.0)
in is_error with
if (fabs(x) < 2.0)
perhaps with an explanatory comment. All we need to do is distinguish underflow
from overflow, and 2.0 is still clearly a _long_ way away from any overflow
boundary.
It would be good to have a test that would trigger the behaviour, too.
