>Description:
[ Reported to the Debian BTS as report #148529.
Please CC [EMAIL PROTECTED] on replies.
Log of report can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/148529 ]
When I try to call sin(x.xx) in my test program, it seems to
return different incorrect results every time. Sometimes I
get NaN returned (at least thats what gdb says; Float'Image gives
"0.E+05"); sometimes it returns 0, other times it generates an
exception (raised CONSTRAINT_ERROR : s-imgrea.adb:236). Whats
weird is that the results of the first call depend on the
total number of calls that appear after the given point in the
program (or something like that).
>How-To-Repeat:
The simple source code can be found in the existing bug report, at
http://bugs.debian.org/148529. If you have problems accessing this, I
can resend it to you.
>Fix:
Use sparc instead of i386 (well... hardly a fix... but
reportedly it does work).
