Only after gawk2.11 was posted in comp.sys.atari.binaries I become
aware of a bug in PML floating point library used on ST by gcc
compiler. This causes that gawk built-in atan2() is incorrect. Its
arguments are switched and sometimes it complains about precision loss
when there is none. As long as you know that this is more bother than
a problem. If it is really troublesome for you then you will have to
recompile with corrected libraries, I guess. I do not plan to post
new executables before next version of gawk will appear.
BTW - this bug in PML is already fixed and Jwahar Bammi has new
sources. Unfortunately it will take some time before changes will
percolate everywhere. Since nobody reported it for a looong time I
guess that this is not a show stopper. :-)
