Maybe... The easiest way to find out if there is a weird side effect
is to remove the threshold computation.  On some versions of Linux,
exp is an assembly inline and so a compiler bug might screw up the FPU
state somehow.

This should work.  [section 2.7 in the C reference manual]

B> The "-moisture" is not proper C and should be written "-1.0*moisture". 

This should also work.  [section 7.2 in Appendix A in the C reference manual]
