Has anyone experienced floating point underflow problems on a Ridge 3200 system? We are having problems working with very small numbers near the lower limit of double precision (ie ~1.0d-308). Instead of underflowing to zero (0.0) as they should, underflowed numbers "wrap around" to very large numbers (~1.0d+308). I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced this and might have a fix (other than scaling or software checks) for this problem.
