With the worry of crashes behind me its back to fixing some bugs. Is there a float to string conversion somewhere. I was using asString until I realized that as the number got small it converted it in exponent form. Using Selector Browser seems to confirm that there is no conversion for anything less than 0.0001.

If you plan using denormalized numbers like 1.0e-316 (gradual underflow),
you'd better check patch at http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=3133 before processing with
fromIEEE32Bit: and asIEEE32BitWord
