    Fix incorrect powf(3) result with x near 1 and |y| much larger than 1
    
    This adjusts the check to trigger overflow/underflow to a slightly lower
    value.
    
    Before: powf(9.999995e-01, -1.342177e+08) -> inf
    After:  powf(9.999995e-01, -1.342177e+08) -> 1.858724e+31
    
    MFC after:      1 week
