| Hi Gaby. Nathan ascertained that this serious run-time
| problem is in fact due to a <limits> issue.
std::numeric_limits<> is known to provide only partial support for
floating point types since the beginning. Note that
std::numeric_limits<>::has_infinity() is false.
My trying to provide better support is what prompted RTH to rewrite
real.c. I have no plan to back-port that rewrite to branch.
This is not a regression.
As far as I'm concerned, this PR should be closed.
