Let's take following number as an example:

> Float::MIN
=> 2.2250738585072014e-308

This gives proper result:

> Float::MIN.ceil(308)
=> 2.9999999999999997e-308

But this does not:

> Float::MIN.floor(309)
=> NaN

even though the result is perfectly valid Float number:

> "2.3e-308".to_f
=> 2.3e-308
