This constructor works wrong with Double.MIN_VALUE on Win32

==== Here is the test ====
public class DoubleT {
public static void main (String[] args) {
  System.out.println("Double.MIN_VALUE = "+Double.MIN_VALUE);
  System.out.println("Corresponding BigDecimal = "+
     new java.math.BigDecimal(Double.MIN_VALUE).doubleValue());
}
}

==== Here is the output of the test on Solaris ====
Double.MIN_VALUE = 4.9E-324
Corresponding BigDecimal = 4.9E-324

==== Here is the output of the test on Win32 ====
Double.MIN_VALUE = 4.9E-324
Corresponding BigDecimal = 1.0E-323
