This came about when an old version of Java had a CVE and would end up in an endless loop processing a number (numbers?). This was fixed in Java 1.6. Here is a reference to it being fixed: https://www.exploringbinary.com/fpupdater-fixes-the-java-2-2250738585072012e-308-bug/ This should get rid of multiple scans and simplify the overall codepath of converting a string to a double/bigdecimal.
