Subject: Log doesn't honour NaN on log(-8)

The log() function doesn't give the right answer on negative log values. E.g.
log(-8), as used in the testcase of mawk, returns 0.00000 while it should be
NaN.
Example attached.
Thanks,

I just tested 2.1.3-7 and the example programme that you sent with the bug
report now returns "nan" as it should. I'll test 2.1.3-8 when it's done
compiling, but I expect the same results since no changes to the math libs
have been made that I can find.
