For some computers I use, it's fine that 2.16 has the fix, but I also have to
deal with some enterprise machines that will be using glibc 2.15 for quite a
while (the bug was discovered while testing some internal math libraries on
these machines). Since this problem is quite widespread -- anyone with 64-bit
glibc 2.15 will have an issue -- and this affects basic math functionality,
there really should be a fix on the 2.15 stable branch...
