+Summary: Double.Parse cannot parse Double.MaxValue
+
+Double.Parse cannot correctly parse the value:
+
+1.79769313486232E+308
+
+which is a string representation of Double.MaxValue.
+
+--------------------
+using System;
+using System.Globalization;
+
+class C1 {
+    public static void Main() {
+        Double d = Double.MaxValue;
+        string s = d.ToString("R", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+        Console.WriteLine("s: {0}", s);
+        Double d2 = Double.Parse(s, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+        string s2 = d2.ToString("R", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+        Console.WriteLine("s2: {0}", s2);
+    }
+}
+---------------------
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.OverflowException: Number overflow
+in <0x00b70> System.Double:Parse
+(string,System.Globalization.NumberStyles,System.IFormatProvider)
+in <0x00015> System.Double:Parse (string,System.IFormatProvider)
+in <0x0005f> C1:Main ()
+
+Expected Results:
+
+s: 1.79769313486232E+308
+s2: 1.79769313486232E+308
+
+How often does this happen?
