It looks like some code isn't handling the improved "long double" type very well.... (With Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 and GCC 4, the "long double" type is finally distinct and bigger than "double". The pre-Tiger warnings about not using "long double" are obviously removed. But it looks like the "double" version of "exp" is being used. Taking a quick look at a system "math.h"... I'm not sure there is a "long double" overload of "exp", just "expl".)
Sounds like we need to do some specializing for Tiger's GCC 4.0. Would you submit a patch to fix these problems? Doug
