gcc: HUGE_VAL is tiny

gcc 2.95.2 running under Cygwin 1.1.2
The value of HUGE_VAL (from math.h) should be infinite or large. Instead it
is negative and tiny.
Test program:
============================ tHUGE_VAL.c
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main (int argc, const char *argv[])
{
printf ("HUGE_VAL = %g\n", HUGE_VAL);
return 0;
}
==============================
>> gcc tHUGE_VAL.c -o tHUGE_VAL
>>./tHUGE_VAL
HUGE_VAL = -6.59614e-229
There seems to be a problem here - hope its not just me.
