Hey,

If you download the code again you should find your problem gone. I hadn't
realized exponents of 0 are not just used for encoding 0, but also for small
numbers. I removed the underflow test and just return 0 for really tiny
numbers -- not sure if this is always proper, but it seems to be a common
approach.


Regards,
Marijn
