Eh, to be fair, if doubles are overflowing past DBL_MAX, things went off the rails in your code quite some time ago, and it doesn't much matter what the exact overflow behavior is.

A better example would be signed integer overflow, which a conspiracy of spec authors who don't work in the real world and compiler maintainers with a perverse sense of humor have decided means "Anything goes."
