Are you using version 2.00 of DJGPP or version 2.01?  Look at the
djdevXXX.zip file if you aren't sure, because there was a bug related to
exp() in version 2.00 of libm.a.  It should have been corrected in the
latest version.

If you are sure that you have all the latest programs, then please post
again.
