greetings!

Some weird floating point errors.  compiled with -mieee, which is
required on debian alpha, but the following persists:


In gdb:

Breakpoint 3, make_shortfloat (f=Erroneous arithmetic operation.
) at number.c:148
148     {

The code:

object
make_shortfloat(double f)
{
        object x;

        if (f == (shortfloat)0.0)
                return(shortfloat_zero);
        x = alloc_object(t_shortfloat);
        sf(x) = (shortfloat)f;
        return(x);
}

The call:

            make_constant("LEAST-POSITIVE-SHORT-FLOAT",
1395                          make_shortfloat(smallest_float));
1396

can't a float be cast to a double in a function call?  Do you know of
a fix?

Take care,
