exp() bug?

[Eljay Love-Jensen]

Hi Lester,

Not a bug.  Different platforms have different hardware, and as such 
different rounding or algorithms can cause variation in the least 
significant bits.  (In non-technical terms, the fiddlybits.)

There are techniques one can use to mitigate those situations.  But they 
are hard to eliminate.

Even in Java, which is supposed to be JVM centric and thus platform 
neutral, suffers from this problem without taking measures to guarantee 
IEEE 754 compliance.

Sincerely,
