Description
Looking at some PkgEval logs a failure that occurs comes up from a changed result for 2^111.94. This used to be computed as
julia> v = 2^111.94
4.9807840732777406e33which is in agreement with e.g. Python. The current value is
julia> 2^111.94
4.980784073277717e33which to my naive eye seems to be significantly worse:
julia> v = 2^111.94; bv = big"2"^111.94; (v - bv) / bv # 1.7
2.09394118307...e-17
julia> v = 2^111.94; bv = big"2"^111.94; (v - bv) / bv # 1.8
