> It seems the assumption in MathUtils.java
> /** Safe minimum, such that 1 / SAFE_MIN does not overflow.
> * <p>In IEEE 754 arithmetic, this is also the smallest normalized
> * number 2<sup>-1022</sup>.</p>

> public static final double SAFE_MIN = 0x1.0p-1022;
> does not work on my openjdk 1.7.0_1 on Solaris SPARC, because I get the following build error:

> I suggest using java.lang.Double.MIN_NORMAL for a platform normalized minimal floating point value.
> A quick program for printing Double.MIN_NORMAL gives the following result.
> class test {
> public static void main(String[] args) {
> System.out.println("min float = " + Double.MIN_NORMAL );
> }
> }
> java test
> min float = 2.2250738585072014E-308
> Could it be an openjdk glitch? Thank you for any comments and help how this could be fixed.
