+Summary: Double data type - overflow in PPC
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+The operation of on a double data type overflows on the PPC machine, for a 
+particular value. But the same double value, on the x86/windows machine 
+there is no overflow.
+
+Consider the following code segment.
+
+   static void Main(string[] args)
+   {
+       long L1 = 632252206664834420;
+         
+       double D1 = (double)L1/10000.0;
+
+      Console.WriteLine(D1);
+   }
+
+For this piece of code, on the PPC target I get the value zero, but at the 
+same time on x86/Windows I get the value 63225220666483.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Run the example code given above on both x86 and Windows machine.
+2. 
+3. 
+
+Actual Results:
+ On PPC target, zero.
+
+Expected Results:
+ 63225220666483
+
+How often does this happen? 
+ everytime
+
+Additional Information:
+ Nothing
