Tom Lane c318aeed84 Try to be more consistent about accepting denormalized float8 numbers.
On some platforms, strtod() reports ERANGE for a denormalized value (ie,
one that can be represented as distinct from zero, but is too small to have
full precision).  On others, it doesn't.  It seems better to try to accept
these values consistently, so add a test to see if the result value
indicates a true out-of-range condition.  This should be okay per Single
Unix Spec.  On machines where the underlying math isn't IEEE standard, the
behavior for such small numbers may not be very consistent, but then it
wouldn't be anyway.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
