Sorry for arriving after the battle, and it is nowhere near as serious, but:

src/internal/floatscan.c, line 136:

	/* Align incomplete final B1B digit */
	if (k<KMAX && j) {

The condition k<KMAX always holds. The earlier for-loop can be exited
with at most k == KMAX-2.
You probably meant:

   if (k < KMAX-2 && j).

If you took a bit of safety margin in your choice of KMAX limits, it
seems to me that it may never matter. But if this is the case, why
bother testing k at all?
