Gilles commented on MATH-1269:
------------------------------
Why _choose_ a number?
Didn't you determine it precisely above?
Isn't just a matter of changing the test from
{code}
if (intVal > 709)
{code}
to
{code}
if (x > 709.782712893384)
{code}
?
> FastMath.exp may return NaN for non-NaN arguments

> I have observed that FastMath.exp(709.8125) returns NaN. However, the
> exponential function must never return NaN (if the argument is not NaN). The
> result must always be non-negative or positive infinity.
