I'm interested... I don't know enough FORTRAN to test this out, but I have been seeing Scilab (which has a lot of FORTRAN inside) doing some strange things recently. If you were to send me a short program to compile and run on this debian PowerPC (Mac G4) I can let you see the results. > > PPS I made another test.

I bet it isn't really 1 (actually 1.000000000000000111022302 ;-) Maybe there's no bug: it's just truncation error? Maybe the maths unit on the alpha is better than the one on the ia32 on this test (no suprise there!) > on alpha: > tmp_fermi2( -2.20214243)= 1. > aux22= 0. I notice this is quite cross-posted: maybe we should reduce the lists it's sent to? Apologies to people receiving this from someone not on their list (better cc replies to me if you want me to read them) Nick/
