That depends. I assume it would just produce more or less inaccurate results, if the machine permits to recover gracefully from overflows, i.e. either it supports infinities, or it returns +/- MaxReal in its stead. Otherwise anything may happen.
Could you construct a test case which would fail (so it would be noticed when running the test suite), or are the checks in emil9.pas (as I recently sent to the list) good enough already?
I don't care much about what `-pedantic' does. It just seemed to me that its behavior is inconsistent with its description in the manual :-)
OK, I'll do the easy thing and adjust the manual. ;-) Thanks for pointing this out.
