True. I found the following line in the code:
[...]
cmp.l #$c000000,d1 ; funny value?
[...]
So there is actually code for this special case. But notice how the
comparison value is only 7 digits? Easy to overlook...
Another thing discovered: I was already suspicious why QPC came to the
same result like the other platforms, seeing that QPC should use the
hardware FPU for this purpose. Turns out I broke the code in SMSQ/E
3.13 and as it uses the normal code as fallback it went unnoticed.
Next release should have much faster floating point code again (at
least 4 times as fast).
