(snipped a bunch of stuff)

In looking at the above again, the conditional doesn't
make any sense to me.  If it really was meant to check
for ERANGE, then it should have been errno == ERANGE.

I'm fine with this patch or removing the entire test.
The middle and back end will hopefully properly fold
constants to 0 or +-Inf.
