I just noticed that div_var_fast() has almost identical code, and so in principle it has the same vulnerability, although it obviously only affects the transcendental functions. I don't actually have a test case that triggers it, but it's basically the same algorithm, so logically it needs the same additional headroom to avoid a possible overflow.
