152 Before version 2.16, the following bugs existed in the
153 glibc implementation of these functions:
155 The domain error case where
157 is 0 or a NaN did not cause
159 to be set or (on some architectures) raise a floating-point exception.
161 The domain error case where
163 is an infinity did not cause
165 to be set or raise a floating-point exception.
