New submission from Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org>:

If a C runtime's math functions set errno to ERANGE, we assume it is a valid 
underflow if fabs(result) < 1.0.

However, because expm1 includes a -1.0, it underflows towards -1.0. This fails 
the above check, and so if a runtime's expm1() sets ERANGE we will raise a 
spurious OverflowError.
