The expression that tried to round the value to the nearest TB could
overflow, leading to bogus output as reported in bug #5993 from Nicola
Cossu.  This isn't likely to ever happen in the intended usage of the
function (if it could, we'd be needing to use a wider datatype instead);
but it's not hard to give the expected output, so let's do so.
