Subject: select record versus dbpr() versus SPARC (at least)

Aloha,

Consider a select record with SELM == "Specified" (SELECTED in the code).
The select record initializes non-constant inputs to 1e+30 .  Then on
processing, only the selected input is fetched (contrary to the
documentation).  That leaves non-selected links as 1e+30 .  Then if one
tries a dbpr on that record, on a SPARC at least, one gets a floating point
exception in dbStatic/dbStaticRun.c:realToString at intval=value; .  Since
that may happen on other architectures too, it seems like a check against
MAXINT is warranted around the easy integer case?
