[Bug classpath/29203] New: 64-bit unclean logic found in _Jv_ulp

[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/348792]

Although the tweak for string-to-double conversion on 64-bit systems
that made it into the latest gcj-4.0 upload has been a definite
improvement, the new code still fails on at least one input:
attempting to convert "1e-308" goes into an infinite loop.

ikvm's long-suffering amd64 build now tickles this when attempting to
compile DoubleToString.java, so I'm reopening #327407 as well.

$ cat DoubleConvTest.java
  class DoubleConvTest {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          String s = args[0];
          System.out.print("in:  " + s + "\n");
          Double d = new Double(s);
          System.out.print("out: " + d + "\n");
      }
  }


hangs, when calling with "1e-308"
