Re: Bug#82873: ceil() severe bug on Cunzen

[Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>]

Can you (or one of the alpha folks Cc'd) check this on the latest glibc
2.2.1 in woody/sid? It's not s serious enough issue for me to back port
a fix to 2.1.3, so if it's fixed in 2.2.1, I'm going to close this bug.

Thanks
