That's exactly, how I understood it. But I cannot see it ... I think there is
none floating point constant, that stands for something other in that source.
Sure, the character written by write is obfuscated. But it looks like legal C to
me (all integer math) that does not depend on anything special (and not on the
internal representation of floating point numbers).
