Hello everybody,

With gcc version 2.95.1 and libstdc++-2.90.6 on an i686-pc-linux-gnu,
the following code:

#include <bits/std_cmath.h>

int main() {

    sin(static_cast<float>(0));

    return 0;

}

compiles but the executable generates a Segmentation Fault. This happens
with any math function in place of the sin. With double instead of float
it runs fine. What's going on there ?
