Quoting from my original post "NetBSD-3.99.17/i386" - so what are you
running?

.. and just to check:

patrimoine=# select '1e-400'::float;
ERROR:  "1e-400" is out of range for type double precision
patrimoine=# select version();                                                  version

1e-400 wasn't rounded down to 0.
