You may wish to obtain the newest version of DJGPP, v2.01.  I don't know
the details of the floating point algorithms, but there were a number of
bug fixes made to the math library code.  The latest versions of all
DJGPP tools can be obtained from
<ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/>, in the directories
beginning with 'v2'.  I suggest you read the file 'v2/readme.1st' before
getting anything else, as it details exactly what you need to download
and how to install it.  There were a lot of changes from v1.12 to v2.x! 
:)

If you still have problems after upgrading, please post some sample code
that produces the erroneous output so we can try it ourselves.  I also
have a 486/66 computer available, so I'd be glad to test it myself.

Hope this helps!
