It isn't serious, and we've (you & I) been thru this failure before <wink>.
If the compiler for this box has some sort of switch named along the lines
of "don't used fused multiply-add", it should cure it.

Or we could rewrite the test not to rely on the (more accidental than not,
given the state of C compilers) sign of 0.
