Looks great.

Fixed with this commit.

Very sorry about incorrectly spelling your name in 
the commit author information :-(

    Doc fix for 'frexp' in arith.texi
    
    It is the magnitude of the return value which lies
    in [0.5, 1), not the return value itself.

        * manual/arith.texi (frexp): It is the magnitude of the return
        value which lies in [0.5, 1), not the return value itself.

Cheers,
Carlos.
