How many mflops do you get if on your 5.2 machine you run a flops that was compiled -static on 4.9 ? My tests show the speed more than doubles.
Thanks- JT

I've tested the patch Dan mentioned before and the results were astonishing.
Running the flops.c 1.2 program in a loop, lengthening the environment string
by one byte each time, I get 8 successive runs of fast, then 8 successive
runs of slow, where fast and slow vary between 650 and 990 mflops. With the
patch, the performance is always 990, within a few percent.
Should I commit this?
