The "minimal" fix, Pete> which relies on glibc and exercises its fe*env functions, is: We discussed this recently and David strongly opted for glibc setting s2/s3 the same way we set s0. I need to look closer at this in order to figure out how to deal with the get-then-set case but I think it's coming. Some of this may be broken in glibc-2.1 which I believe is in the Turbo distrib you are using, however glibc-2.1 is most likely not going to get fixed. JesReceived on Mon Oct 09 09:44:42 2000
