Ok,
more precise information on the test sites for that problem. Hope this clears
the situation:
Problem site:
- several Intel based Systems (PII/III XEON) running (RedHat 6/6.1) Linux
Foreighn test sites, not having the problem:
- SUN Sparcstation 10 running Solaris 5.6
- HP 9000/710 running HP/UX 10.20
- IBM running AIX Version 4
- Intel running WindowsNT
- Compac Alpha running RedHat Linux 6.0
The compilers were the standard compilers on these platforms (so mostly not gcc).
So the problems seems to be only on the Intel backend of the compiler.
Again, we know that that assigning a float/double to an integer variable
can result to incorrect values. It's just that Linux on Intel behaves here
differently than (on) other platforms and it would be nice to have consistancy
here.
Chris
