This is not exactly a bug, but I note that you compute the system's
floating-point parameters at run time instead of using the standard
<float.h> header.  There's a quick summary of this header at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float.h and a detailed explanation at
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/float.h.html .

Arise, you prisoners of Windows / Arise, you slaves of Redmond, Wash,
The day and hour soon are coming / When all the IT folks say "Gosh!"
It isn't from a clever lawsuit / That Windowsland will finally fall,
But thousands writing open source code / Like mice who nibble through a wall.
