     longer than the actual underlying floating-point format.  Perhaps
     we should store a fixed bitpattern in those remaining bytes,
     instead of zero, or perhaps we shouldn't touch those remaining
     bytes at all.

     NOTE: cagney/2001-10-28: With the way things currently work, it
     isn't a good idea to leave the end bits undefined.  This is
     because GDB writes out the entire sizeof(<floating>) bits of the
     floating-point type even though the value might only be stored
     in, and the target processor may only refer to, the first N <
     TYPE_LENGTH (type) bits.  If the end of the buffer wasn't
     initialized, GDB would write undefined data to the target.  An
     errant program, refering to that undefined data, would then
     become non-deterministic.
