intel processor (pentium 4), Linux Debian 2.4.16
>Description:
Expressions containing occurrences of double variables
are wrongly translated, especially when negative values
are involved.
The problem disappears when using long double instead
of double.
In the attached program, the value of the expression
should be 0. This is the case with long double, whereas
its value is -2.22045e-16 with double.
