This is not a bug. Brian was right that v19 would ordinarily use a 448K
FFT wheras v18 used a 384K FFT. However, v19 is finishing off your
exponent using a 384K FFT.
You now see why I was a little more conservative with the FFT crossover
points. Your 0.4086 error is not much greater than 0.4 and not near
the 0.5 error that would corrupt your result.
I'd continue onward with your test - you probably would have gotten
the same error in version 18.
Regards,
George
