Bug fix (sorta)
Description:
The SGI machines have problems accurately (and consistently) converting
unsigned long values to float and double values, so put in a bit of a hack in
the datatype conversion test code to allow them to get "close enough". This
hack is enabled at configure time by a flag which should only be set on machines
with this problem.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
