Greetings!
OK, here is the code:
if (!ISFINITE(d))
{if (sSAprint_nansA->s.s_dbind !=Cnil)
{sprintf(s, "%e",d);
*sp = 2;
return;
}
else
FEerror("Can't print a non-number.",
0);}
So perhaps this is libc version dependent. If so, we probably should
make it not so.
Mike, do you have comment here? Do you have a 2.6.8pre test installer
somewhere?
Take care,
