Well, it wasn't for me. I ftp'ed it and tried it out on my newly
compiled 0.98.3 (+ fs/inode.c patch) just to test the new math emulater.
Uh oh. On the test file, it gives a "Floating point exception" and
dumps core quite early in the tests.
For example, (from memory, not from test file)
? roots(x^1+x^2+x^3+x^4)
gives Floating point exception and dumps core.
On the 0.98.1 kernel it works as you say.

BTW - does anybody know, if it is possible to alltogether drop
/lib/libsoft (forgot the exact name) and use the /lib/libhard (ditto)
library with the new math emulator?
