This provides a slightly more accurate bounding limit for `computeNextExponentialSoftCapped` when the computed bound is greater than `(1.0p53 - 1.0) * DoubleZigguratTables.exponentialX0`. This could cause the `while (computeNextExponentialSoftCapped(rng, limit) < limit)` check in `computeNextGaussian` on line 1402 to always be true, making the `nextGaussian` runtime unbounded in the worst case.
