[Bug math/10817] New: coshl overflows prematurely

[chasonr at newsguy dot com]

The coshl function indicates an overflow when its result is not representable as
double, even when the result is representable as long double.  An example is
"coshl(1000.L);".

sinhl does not have this bug.

The bug appears to be that the version of coshl in math/w_coshl.c uses __finite
to check the result of __ieee754_coshl.  It should use __finitel, as sinhl in
math/w_sinhl.c does.  This bug should be present on any system that uses
math/w_coshl.c as its coshl and defines long double as having a greater exponent
range than double.

I found the bug in a version of 2.7 that shipped with Fedora 8; but the bug is
present in the 2.10.1 source as well.
