The crash also occurs on i386 platforms, e.g. CPUs built by AMD. > Here it's the implementation of the processor which is at fault. But printf %Le does not do any hardware floating-point instruction except those in glibc's __isnanl and __isinfl functions: __mpn_extract_long_double extracts the bits using integer arithmetic. > Neither CPU nor kernel bugs will be worked around if it's expensive. Do you find that Jakub's added 4 lines of code are "expensive"? > Just don't use those OS and processor versions if it bothers you. Right. Don't use i386, x86_64, and ia64. What machine are you using? Bruno
