  The "$F" command in adb will show you the saved float registers
and MAXDOUBLE is about 1.798e308 so you can determine for sure
if an overflow happened. The next step would be to backtrack and
figure out what had to happen to bring this about. One suspect might
be a function returning MAXDOUBLE as the result of an out of range
argument.
