   Bonjour

      I am currently investigating some regressions for my quaternion 
and octonion libraries, which appear in the report of the tests you run 
under SunOS5.

      I have the feeling that for "long double" variables, 
numeric_limits<long double>::epsilon() returns the correct value, but 
standard transcendental functions (atan at least) behave as if their 
input were "double" and not "long double".

      Do you know if this is the case?

   Merci

         Hubert Holin
