>Description:
	I've written an macro for log2 calculation to calculate the exponent of one value.
	Than I cast this value to from double to int.
	The 2 values double and int differs. 
	example:
	log2(8) should be 3 but after casting to int its 2.
	This bug could be reproduced on 2 different linux distributions (Debian GNU/Linux and Fedora Core 2) with different compiler versions.
>How-To-Repeat:
	use this code to reproduce it
	--- code ---
	#include <math.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#define log2(val) (log((val))/log(2.0))
	int main()
	{       
	      int n1=log2(8);
		double d1=log2(8);
		printf("%d %f\n",n1,d1);
		return 0;
	 }
	--- end ---						  
>Fix:
	For workaround I implemented a function for log2.
