Taking the vector norm using the naïve method of adding up the squares and
then taking the square root is known to be problematic in terms of overflow
for very large arguments.  There are always some small problems when using
square-roots since it can be hard to get accuracy to 1ULPS without standing
on your head.

Are you saying that this is the problem?

Can you say more about the error you see?
