Of course, there is probably no use for values like these. And you can
also use "1,23456e120". For me, nobody has to fix this bug. I can
live without. But I also think a bug should not crash the program if you
"only" use things which are not forbidden. Otherwise the programmers
could leave the 126 limit out.
And if somebody can fix the bug why not do it?
