i think the latter error is caused by gcc.

double d = 1e50;
is translated to:
movd $0d+Inf,-12(%fp)

i don't think, this is correct. Maybe instead of Inf something like
DOUBLE_MAX should be used?

1e50 should definitely fit into a double... Something is fishy here.
I suspect the compiler.

#define DBL_MAX         1.701411834604692294E+38

How can 1e50 fit that?
