I wonder if MartinS's recent work on fpclassify will fix this. Maybe ieeefp.h
will need modification too.

If you're building Perl 5.8.0, you may wish to use my latest patch from here:

    http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/djgpp/perl/5.8.0/

It has no fixes for the problem you mention, but it should have the same fixes
as were made for the DJGPP port of Perl 5.6.1.

Bye, Rich =]
