Yes, I am aware of that. However, if you do not regard implementation
of (e.g.) exp an issue separate from the general FPU safety of the
kernel, it seems to me that the only solution is to implement your
own exp. I am quite loath to that.

As far as I can judge, Rusty's warning is relevant for any FP
operations, e.g. addition or division, not just math functions.

Incidentally, I could not find anything that would give an example of
the proper solution to the problem if one absolutely must use floats.
