Please apply the below one-line patch to mprec.c to fix _Jv_ulp's
behavior on 64-bit systems, where it can otherwise improperly return
very large values when it should return very small ones. (Without
this patch, converting certain strings, such as "1e-305", to doubles
would go into infinite loops on x86_64-linux-gnu, and presumably other
64-bit environments as well. With this patch, I see no such
problems.)
Thanks!
