Trouble with exp() on S/Linux?

Hi,

I have built and installed the latest version of the PostgreSQL RDBMS
on S/Linux but am having problems with the regression tests.

Many of the failures come from floating point exceptions.

I've written a small c prog to demonstrate the problem which seems to
show that using exp() on a number less than 1.0e-150 gives an FPE.

Can anyone tell me what's broken, if anything.

I'm really not sure whether it is...

cpu : Fujitsu or Weitek Power-UP
fpu : Fujitsu or Weitek on-chip FPU
kernel : sparclinux-2.0-980106
libc/m : libc.so.5.3.12/libm.so.5.0.6
gcc : gcc version 2.7.2.1

Something else???
Expected behaviour???

The machine is a SPARCstation IPX running Red Hat 4.2.

Thanks for any help,
Keith.
