+Looks like this bug is hidden deep inside "bsd_strtod()" in
+mono/mono/utils, or at least the function doesn't correctly handle the
+CLR double range.
+
+Is there anybody on the planet who can read this code? 
+
+Is there any particular reason why this can't be rewritten in managed
+code where you can (hopefully) avoid all those:???
+
+#ifdef IBM
+#ifdef Sudden_Underflow
+#ifndef ROUND_BIASED
+#ifdef IEEE_Arith
+#ifndef Inaccurate_Divide
