Is this a real bug and if so can we get it fixed for glibc 2.3?
Why do you ask me? The rounding is handled by the FPU or by some
emulator (don't know what applies in your case). If those don't work
fix them. Such completely wrong results obviously mean than something
is really screwed if upward rounding is enabled. But since the code
executed is the same as for the other rounding methods it's not a
problem in the exp code itself.
