FYI, I just tried this small program and it worked perfectly for me.

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        double x = 10001.0;
        printf ("%lf", sqrt (x));
        return 0;
}

I got the result 100.005000, which looks ok.

Command line I used was:

gcc -o test test.c -lm

So, it's not a bug in the library.
