static void GetXmpNumeratorAndDenominator(double value,
  unsigned long *numerator,unsigned long *denominator)
{
  double
    df;

  *numerator=0;
  *denominator=1;
  if (value <= MagickEpsilon)
    return;
  *numerator=1;
  df=1.0;
  while(fabs(df - value) > MagickEpsilon)
  {
    if (df < value)
      (*numerator)++;
    else
      {
        (*denominator)++;
        *numerator=(unsigned long) (value*(*denominator));
      }
    df=*numerator/(double)*denominator;
  }
}

In this code, the loop while(fabs(df - value) > MagickEpsilon) keeps repeating endlessly.
