Oh yeah , and what do i do when i don't have a Math Copro and the 386bsd Math
emulator is so broken, that atof("123.456") gives 1.0 ? I sat days or weeks just
to track down that some math function used by the original atof gave complete
shit as result. When i saw the math emu, i couldn't believe it:
it was just an antique version of the linux Math emulator !
Just one of the many reasons why i went to linux.
Consider xfig as example: compiles very fine under linux (after removing references
to SIGBUS), runs very fine; the executable has some reasonable size (about 300k, i think). Under 386bsd: compiles without any change ... Drawing a simple circle
gave math exception & the exec was about 750 k big.
