And is quite likely if basic things like the number conversion is bust.
And in turn that is quite probable if (NV)INT_MIN is currently +2147483648.0
as far as Darwin's gcc is concerned.
I'll be a coffee that the problem will go away once INT_MIN is less than 0.
[I may be paying out on this one. I already owe Andy Dougherty a coffee,
IIRC. I'm on a safer bet, I feel, in saying that there won't be 100% test
success until the INT_MIN is solved]
