Summary: limits of bfloat()

Initial Comment:
Example:
_______________________________________________________
(%i1614) bfloat(4.211300985662053E-22);

Warning:  Float to bigfloat conversion of
4.2113009856620533E-22
(%o1614)                     4.211300985662053B-22
(%i1615) bfloat(4.211300985662054E-22);

Warning:  Float to bigfloat conversion of
4.2113009856620538E-22
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 Error in CATCH [or a callee]: Zero divisor.

Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.

_______________________________________________________
The only difference between (%i1614) and (%i1614)  is
the last number of the float. It's too strange.

Maxima 5.9.1
