Hmmmmm.. Do you have a math co-processor in this box? All tests pass
fine on my machine, but it's a 486. If it's a math emulation problem,
you'll probably find that going to the new GNU math emulator in FreeBSD
solves a lot of your problems. See the /usr/src/contrib/programs/fpemul
directory in freebsd-current.
