Package: libmpfi-dev
Version: 1.3.3-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
There is currently a big bug in the version of MPFI of etch.
I mentionned it to Nathalie Revol who told me that currently, there
were several branches of MPFI and she didn't seem to be optimistic
about when the developpers would patch the bug.
However, it seems that the bug is know for a while and was patched in
one of the several branches.
Since your the maintainer of the package for Debian, can you fix it ?
That is, at least include the patched branch into etch.
Thanks.

Here is a minimal example of the bug :
#include <mpfr.h>
#include <mpfi.h>
int main(void) {
mpfi_t x;
mpfi_init2(x,165);
mpfi_inp_str(x,stdin,10);
mpfi_sin(x,x);
mpfi_out_str(stdout,10,0,x);
mpfi_clear(x);
return 0;
}
Once compiled, just enter [-3.2, -3.1] to the prompt
Note that -Pi lays in the interval and sin usually vanished at Pi.
