+This problem is caused by Double.ToString().
+When we call Double.MaxValue.ToString("R",
+CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), the result should be 17 bits precision,
+but mono only get 15 bits precision.
+
+FloatingPointFormatter.cs has some code like this:
+[MonoTODO]
+private string FormatReversible (Format formatData, double value,
+NumberFormatInfo nfi, int precision) 
+
+I think that is the root of this problem.
