Start with a simple C program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <values.h>

int main()
{
  float val = 1.40129846432481707e-45f;
  double dbl = val;

  printf("MINFLOAT is %e(flt)\n", MINFLOAT );
  printf("val is %e(flt) %g(dbl)\n", val, val);
}

Compile it:

        gcc -mieee -o ieee ieee.c

Results with the patch:

        MINFLOAT is 1.175494e-38(flt)
        val is 1.401298e-45(flt) 1.4013e-45(dbl)

Results without the patch:

        MINFLOAT is 1.175494e-38(flt)
        val is 2.652495e-315(flt) 2.65249e-315(dbl)

Patch follows inline & attached:
