The ones that return +/- inf are because the division overflows. The others look like rounding error in the division when the result of x/y is large but doesn't overflow - this can easily lead to a result with the wrong sign, or with magnitude larger than y. I don't think it's realistic to try to fix these problems with an inline expansion. It really needs a library function.

I suppose the question is: is this patch still a useful default implementation of frem?
