test_float_overflow(): make shuge (added last week) a little less huge. On older Linux systems, the C library's strtod() apparently gives up before seeing the end of the string when it sees so many digits that it thinks the result must be Infinity. (It is wrong, BTW -- there could be an "e-10000" hiding behind 10,000 digits.) The shorter shuge still tests what it's testing, without relying on strtod() doing a super job.
