Follow-up Comment #6, bug #36278 (project octave):
It would be nice if the C library behaved a bit
more reasonably:
octave:1> sprintf ('%d', 1.3e15)
ans = -701153280
could confuse people, particularly if the
results go to someplace other than the screen.
Is it hard and inefficient, to replace the
wrong answer with something like "OVFL"?
This would tend to prevent using the wrong
result as data.
