✘NetBSD failure.

[Gary E. Miller]

Yo Hal!

More info on the NetBSD bug:

TEST(lfpfunc, FDF_RoundTrip)../../tests/libntp/lfpfunc.c:268::FAIL: Expected 0.0 Was 2147482624.0. 2147483647.500000 diff 2147482624.000000 not within 2.384186e-07

2147483647 is hex: 7FFFFFFF
2147482624 is hex: 7FFFFC00

If you know your floaing point you know that 7FFFFFFF fits in a double
just fine.  But if you put it in float and then back to hex, you get
7FFFFC00.

That because a float is only 21 significant digits, the same significant
digits as in 7FFFFC00

So somewhere netBSD is using a float instead of a double...

Or something else that is netBSD specific...
