Subject: float-to-double core dump on 3.4R

     #include <float.h>

     main()
     {
        float  f = FLT_MAX;
        double d;
        f = f * 2;
        d = f;
     }

Delete the "d=f" line and it doesn't core.  Put it in and it does
(floating-point exception).

From this it appears there may be a bug in the float-to-double promotion
when f is Inf (or, at least I'd expect that f is Inf).

Any comments?  If not, I'll file the PR.

Thanks,

Randall Hopper
