   if I have a long double var named x of value 1e+4893
if I print it out

  "p x"
I get
  " 1e+4893"

  but once loaded onto FPU stack 
I get +Inf on the right part of the display !

  p $st0 still gives the correct value !!

  on the contrary p /x $st0 shows  12 bytes whereas only ten are significant
(this is better in info float !)
