On Mac OS X tiger (10.4) ppc, long double has increased precision but
the same range as double (it really is 128 bits not 80, btw), so
e**1000 is inf, so this is not really an error.
I'm not sure what is the right thing to do in the test, check for
overflow? Also, finfo has never worked properly for this type.
