Yes, this is a rather annoying bug that I've encountered before; it
also exists in another form:

[root@ginseng ~]# mount /floppy/ 
mount: /floppy/: unknown special file or file system.
[root@ginseng ~]# mount /floppy 
[root@ginseng ~]# 

I'll send in a patch later.

The bug is in your understanding of meaning of the DBL_DIG macro;
see http://www.dinkumware.com/htm_cl/float.html.  Change the above
to:

#define DIG DBL_MANT_DIG

and try again.
