The binary works; it just gets some wrong answers for some math
stuff.  (Hell, I understand; I was never any good at maths. :-)

I think the fastest road to a solution now is going to be pinning
the problem down in the library via C code rather than perl, and
from there figure out what combination of library and/or compiler
bug is causing it.

Anyrate, that's what I'll look at next, amongst phone calls to
recruiters offering boring boring boring contracts. :-(
