The floating underflow is almost certainly coming from points far out
on the distribution... normal distributions drop below machine-
representable numbers (even doubles) remarkably fast. In this case,
it's probably innocuous enough, but if they're bothering you (or
slowing down your code) you could always test to make sure the
argument to the Gaussian isn't too large, and if it is then assign
zero instead of doing the calculation.

Incidentally, you're not looping over i and j are you? :-)=
