->Might this have something to do with the fact that the 'float.h' header
->file in b14 (maybe b16? Haven't checked) defines constants for doubles
->and long doubles as exactly the same? I was slightly puzzled by this
->when I noticed it.

In my limited experience, this is a very common occurrence. For most
implementations there is no difference between double and long double:
Both are 64 bits. (Likewise, for 32-bit machines, in and long int are
the same.)
