Various paths through hypot(x, y) will multiply x and y by a power of two, perform the calculation in a range where IEEE-754 provides greater precision, then undo the multiplication to determine the true result. Undoing that multiplication is implemented as t1*w, where t1=2**k.
2**k is often computed by taking the high word of 1.0, then adding k<<20 (for doubles or long doubles) or k<<23 (for floats) to it, then overwriting that high word. But when k is negative this left-shifts a negative value -- and that's undefined behavior in many editions of C and C++.
This patch should fix all hypot implementations to compute 2**k without triggering this particular bit of undefined behavior.
