[SNIP pb & fix]
I've committed this change to CVS for both source files on the assumption that this suits the library maintainer. If not, or there is something wrong with the fix, please feel free to revert the changes.

Thanks for the fix! This of course suits me. I did further modify it in the hope (apparently well-founded) that it would also fix the CW 9 on Intel problem. The remaining outstanding problems with quaternions, octonions and special functions all revolve around "long double" problems which I believe are due to the libstdc++ of these platforms which seem to have some deficiency w.r.t. 64 bits computing (the Beman/Win32/gcc result is odd, though, and will need further investigation). Jonathan Wakely is investigating the matter and in the end, if necessary, I can (but would rather not) disable the test for "long double". A few scattered problems remain as well, COMSOFT apparently fails to define the "float atan(float)" signature (and provides useless output for the quaternion and special functions tests), the FFT-icc 8 results seem irrelevant and SunPro 5 gets tripped by "for_each" (which seems to pulled in somehow...). At worst these can be marked as expected failures. Merci Hubert P.S.: sorry for the rather asinch replies I make to various threads, but things are a bit hectic lately, and I have not even managed to read all I would like to here; should be smoother next month, and definitely better in August :-) (not to mention July, where I'll be almost one month off-line, on vacation :-)) ).
