Bogus FPE on underflow for exp(double)

Is anybody looking at this? This is a critical bug that completely breaks our code. Many of our users have Ubuntu installed and are suffering because of this. So a quick fix would be appreciated. The link shown above contains the patch, so fixing this should be easy and quick. An identical bug report against openSUSE was fixed in 28 hours. This report is already more than 3 weeks old...

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hello Peter, or anyone else affected,

Accepted eglibc into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/2.15-0ubuntu10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Fix is **not** released for Precise.

My apologies, I clicked on a link and didn't realize it would make any change (let alone an irrevocable one). Trac is more forgiving...

Marking back to Fix Committed until it's actually released to -updates.

Peter, can you re-test with 2.15-0ubuntu10.3 and verify that it still fixes the problem for you? It was superseded by a security update, and I had to re-upload all over again.

The math library in libc6-amd64_2.15-0ubuntu10.3_i386.deb fixes the bug.
