I tested this on a cygwin system and found a cutoff point of 134217729
transcript:
The last number that woks is 134217729, or 0b1000000000000000000000000001
or 0x8000001 , which is interesting... If there was some sort of precision
problem I would have expected it to fail 2 numbers before where it does.
(i.e. would have expect last number that works to be 0x7999999
