6 Testing use of big numbers.\n
7 The numbers in the data file are designed for IEEE754 double
8 format--if your system uses something different then the test needs to
9 be adjusted for whatever are big numbers to your system.

20 This test merely shows whether your system can successfully handle
21 floating-point overflow. If you get a fatal exception at this point,
22 the source needs some editing--glob.c should mask overflow exceptions
23 in init_glob(). Again, the numbers are specific to IEEE754 double
