This message is probably of no interest to anyone but myself. Forgive me for sending it, but I want to correct an error that I made.

This is woefully wrong; a counter-example is the number pow(2, -1024). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
