Well, off the top of my head:

X = 1.000000000010;
Y = 1.000000000015;

Z = 1 / (X - Y);
plot1(Z, "test");

If you get a divide-by-zero error, it's not double precision.

Rather than interrupt Omega, who must be working diligently improving
our products <g>, it seems much more practical to run this simple test
on the actual product, and give such an enthusiastic proponent as Pierre
an opportunity to demonstrate its strengths.
