-3UL is not outside the range of float.  -3UL == 0xfffffffffffffffd.  That is
less than FLT_MAX == 3.40282e+38.  It is true that the value can not be
precisely represented in float, but it is not out of range.  So the standard
says that the compiler must pick the nearest representable value, either higher
or lower.
