Note that I think such issues are pervasive in MPC; it's not just that one function. MPFR is generally careful about using a larger exponent range internally (there might still be issues with very big exponents where they aren't handled specially to avoid internal overflow, but the maximum MPFR exponent range is very large); MPC doesn't generally try to handle restricted exponent ranges. -- Joseph S.
