Comment (by Richard B. Kreckel <kreckel@…>):

 Reading my report again, I appear to have quoted the wrong section of the
 standard. The one that applies is the ''first'' paragraph in [7.3.3] (not
 the second): "''For implementations with a signed zero (including all IEC
 60559 implementations) that follow the specifications of annex G, the sign
 of zero distinguishes one side of a cut from another so the function is
 continuous (except for format limitations) as the cut is approached from
 either side.''" I apologize for the confusion. But anyway: the patch I
 attached accomplishes exactly that and is correct. Could somebody, please,
 apply it?
