sp-forth/4 handles this case correctly.

Attempting to do u=0 on Windows Gforth (2020) results in the entire app
crashing.  AFAIK its REPRESENT is based on ecvt() so anything is possible
when fed with an illegal parameter.

I believe SP-Forth uses one of my REPRESENT implementations from ~2004.
It doesn't surprise me you got that result :)  For those interested a superior
implementation can be found below.  Included is a forth floating point output
package so good I've not needed REPRESENT since.
