Summary: log() on a big number fails on powerpc64
Initial Comment:
The log() function seems to give incorrect results for
large numbers on a 64-bit powerpc architecture. The
test_math program from the Python test suite fails with
the following message:
math module, testing with eps 1e-05
constants
acos
asin
atan
atan2
ceil
cos
cosh
degrees
exp
fabs
floor
fmod
frexp
hypot
ldexp
log
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_math.py", line 117, in ?
testit('log(10**40, 10)', math.log(10**40, 10), 40)
File "test_math.py", line 13, in testit
raise TestFailed, '%s returned %f, expected
%f'%test.test_support.TestFailed: log(10**40, 10) returned
21.938200, expected 40.000000
Tested on a SMP IBM PowerPC machine, with Python 2.3.4
(64-bit build).

Can you test with newer versions of Python, preferrably
2.4.2 or current CVS? 2.3.4 worked for me on 64-bit Opteron.
