Bug #29166:
AsText() needs to know the maximum number of characters a IEEE double precision value can occupy to make sure there's enough buffer space. The number was too small to hold all possible values and this caused buffer overruns. Fixed by correcting the calculation of the maximum digits in a string representation of an IEEE double precision value as printed by String::qs_append(double).
