I haven't had time to look at this further yet, except to build 7.1RC3
a couple of times with the HP ANSI C compiler today:

PA-RISC 1.1 code (-Ae +O2 +DAportable):   all tests pass
PA-RISC 2.0 code (-Ae +O2 +DA2.0 +DS2.0): geometry failures

I'm not sure how interesting these differences are anymore -- is there
anyone familiar enough with floating point to determine if the results
are acceptable (although currently unexpected :-) or not?
