Lines: 35 WHAT: ===== This patch fixes DBL_MAX in /usr/include/float.h, which is too large. I have grapped the value from enquire on a sun which also runs ieee format. WHY: ==== scanf&friends have problems parsing this number, giving gcc-2.3.3 trouble all over the place. Please add to the patchkit.
