<upd_detl>I think there's a meaning for this word that is missing... something more like "furiously", but not in the sense of being angry... rather the sense of doing something as quickly/earnestly/vigorously/enthusiastically as possible.

I've seen it used that way, and this is also reflected in the example sentence for this word:

警官がやってくるのを見ると彼は猛烈に走り出した。 When he saw a policeman coming, he began to run like anything.

The subject wasn't running violently, vehemently, or ragefully, which are the current definitions for 猛烈.</upd_detl>
