I'm not actually sure if this is the correct behavior. It seems to give me a range of (-1e-300, 1e-300) when rs = (0, 0) and the freeze came back. Could you check it for me?

I think 1e-300 is bad choice. Smallest normalized number 2.2250738585072014e-308 is 8 orders of magnitude away and underflow doesn't happen even for 1e-321. It's probably better to check whether maxV+d and minV-d are equal to maxV/minV.
range _ | minV == maxV = case minV of
0 -> (-1,1)
_ | lo /= minV && hi /= maxV -> (lo,hi)
| otherwise -> (minV/2,maxV*2)
| otherwise = rs
d = abs (minV * 0.01)
lo = minV - d
hi = maxV + d

I've pushed a fix to avoid the freeze in this commit: f27955b The issue is that this expression: will eat all RAM in bigint calculations when delta = 0 |

This doesn't guarantee you'll get sensible charts with tiny values - your patch may still be necessary for this. Test it and if it is necessary, I will merge. |
