_PyFloat_Pack4 does a double-to-float cast, without first checking that the value being converted is within the range of a float.  According to C99 6.3.1.5p2, this results in undefined behaviour.  It should be fixed (probably via comparison with FLT_MAX before casting.)

np_float in the struct module also has this problem.
