New issue 3481 by [email protected]: Math.log1p inaccurate
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3481

Math.log1p(8070450532247929/Math.pow(2,60)) returns

0.006975613736425138

The correct answer from maxima is

6.975613736425242244226051930404380841777243297883756387393298702b-3

This is a difference of about 120 ulp (binary).

An accurate log1p function would allow computation of the inverse hyperbolic functions over the whole domain of finite floating-point numbers.
