Well, das@ is still listed as my mentor, so I need approval from him to commit. He did indicate to me that if you approved a patch, I could commit it. Our usual exchange follows: here: 1) I send a (possibly new) diff. 2) you tell me that you've made some refinements to the algorithm(s) or there are style(9) issues. 3) I integrate your changes (where upon I fat finger something to introduce a new style(9) issue). 4) I then spend a week or so testing the changes on i386, amd64, and sparc64. 5) Generate a new diff and send it to bde. 6) Get busy with life. 7) goto here. > I spent a half of yesterday so retesting libm for correctness and > cleaning up log*.
