RED_FLAG 22-Sep-2000 tim
PyFloat_FromString's pend argument is braindead.  Prior to this RED_FLAG,

1.  If v was a regular string, *pend was set to point to its terminating
    null byte.  That's useless (the caller can find that without any
    help from this function!).

2.  If v was a Unicode string, or an object convertible to a character
    buffer, *pend was set to point into stack trash (the auto temp
    vector holding the character buffer).  That was downright dangerous.

Since we can't change the interface of a public API function, pend is
still supported but now *officially* useless:  if pend is not NULL,
*pend is set to NULL.

	 *   (1) if exp > LONG_MAX/2 then the value of the hex string is
	 *   guaranteed to overflow (provided it's nonzero)
	 *
	 *   (2) if exp < LONG_MIN/2 then the value of the hex string is
	 *   guaranteed to underflow to 0.
	 *
	 *   (3) if LONG_MIN/2 <= exp <= LONG_MAX/2 then there's no danger of
	 *   overflow in the calculation of exp and top_exp below.
	 *
	 * More specifically, ndigits is assumed to satisfy the following
	 * inequalities:
	 *
	 *   4*ndigits <= DBL_MIN_EXP - DBL_MANT_DIG - LONG_MIN/2
	 *   4*ndigits <= LONG_MAX/2 + 1 - DBL_MAX_EXP
	 *
	 * If either of these inequalities is not satisfied, a ValueError is
	 * raised.  Otherwise, write x for the value of the hex string, and
	 * assume x is nonzero.  Then
	 *
	 *   2**(exp-4*ndigits) <= |x| < 2**(exp+4*ndigits).
	 *
	 * Now if exp > LONG_MAX/2 then:
	 *
	 *   exp - 4*ndigits >= LONG_MAX/2 + 1 - (LONG_MAX/2 + 1 - DBL_MAX_EXP)
	 *                    = DBL_MAX_EXP
	 *
	 * so |x| >= 2**DBL_MAX_EXP, which is too large to be stored in C
	 * double, so overflows.  If exp < LONG_MIN/2, then
	 *
	 *   exp + 4*ndigits <= LONG_MIN/2 - 1 + (
	 *                      DBL_MIN_EXP - DBL_MANT_DIG - LONG_MIN/2)
	 *                    = DBL_MIN_EXP - DBL_MANT_DIG - 1
	 *
	 * and so |x| < 2**(DBL_MIN_EXP-DBL_MANT_DIG-1), hence underflows to 0
	 * when converted to a C double.
	 *
	 * It's easy to show that if LONG_MIN/2 <= exp <= LONG_MAX/2 then both
	 * exp+4*ndigits and exp-4*ndigits are within the range of a long.
