That looks sensible. I didn't test, I assume it is still broken for 
denormals and infinity (it may be doable using DBL_MAX_EXP, DBL_MIN_EXP, 
DBL_HAS_SUBNORM, etc), but it is already a good improvement if it works 
for normal numbers.

(I never use GMP's get_d functions, they don't quite provide what I need)

Thanks,
