Subject: Behavior of sqrt on errors.
Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk


On FreeBSD,

   sqrt (-3.0);

generates a SIGFPE.  On all other systems I have encountered, it calls
matherr with a DOMAIN error.  Can anyone more knowledgeable about the 
ANSI standard comment if this correct ANSI behavior or a bug?

Thanks,
Mark
