It looks like GNOME cgit's line-number marking and browser scrolling
behaviour interacts poorly with the fixed top navigation bar. Please
scoll up to line 434, which is just above the IEEE 754 stuff.

Knowing the finer details of IEEE 754 floating point isn't going to
help you to avoid integer multiplication overflows, but the code in
GLib just above it can :-)
