Well, after looking carefully at the Paranoia program I have come to
the conclusion that the fix really has little to do with what this
program is testing.  That fix, if you remember, adjusted the max
values for double precision numbers.  This would have really no
effect on how well she rounds.  :-(

As for a duplicate library, that might not be such a bad idea.  I'll
look into it and see what I get.
