--1LKvkjL3sHcu1TtY Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Yes, as I have suspected, the gdtoa change is responsible for a breakage. libc corresponding to this lib/libc works: cvs -q up -P -d -D'2003/03/12 20:20:00' : Using /home/ru/w/f/usr.bin/awk/nawk nawk... This version, together with contrib/gdtoa, doesn't: cvs -q up -P -d -D'2003/03/12 20:29:59' : Using /home/ru/w/f/usr.bin/awk/nawk nawk... : nawk: floating point exception 8 : input record number 325, file : source line number 84 To see the breakage, one needs to install new libc, and run (assuming that /usr/bin/nawk is dynamically linked) make in usr.bin/truss; this will run the awk(1) script that exhibits one of these FPEs. P.S. Hmm, I didn't test this on i386, as I found this bug when attempting to produce a cross-release of i386 on Alpha, so i386's may be affected too. Will see.
