1) The email address for the gnats admin seems to be
address@hidden
2) Bug 4141, reported by me, is evidently not a glibc bug. I wrote that
the following code produced an fp exception on an Alpha '264:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main(void)
{
double en;
en = exp( -709); /* bad between 708 and 745 */
if (en) fprintf( stderr, "it worked\n");
return 0;
}
/* compile with probably anything: gcc -o foo foo.c is fine. */
I tried to work around this problem with a pathetic linear interpolation
with values taken from an x86-based computer. However, my linear
interpoloation stage failed, suggesting that this problem is not
necessarily related to glibc. I am now guessing that gcc 2.96 or kernel
(2.4.9-31 from RH, or 2.4.19-pre8) is to blame. Any help would still be
welcome, of course -- this problem has been a show-stopper for us.
