That's not the point.
Both the interpreter & the translated programs output 0 in that case,
which is fine by me. However, if you use something like -300.34, then
the translated program gives an overflow, but the interpreter still
outputs 0. An overflow is fine from the interpreter too, as long as I
can predict it and guard against it with a safe_power() function. It is
the inconsistacy that bothers me. But this one isn't so bad because it
can be easily avoided.
The main example I gave, which doesn't overflow (& shouldn't), but
outright crashes for no apparent reason, is the real problem.
