I have experienced difficulties with using ULTRIX 4.3's /lib/libmp.a library,
specifically: when using the mult(3) and/or pow(3) functions, the last argument
reteurns a length of 1 and a value of 0 (as per the mout() call))

Other operations, such as madd() and mdiv() seem to operate correctly.

Examination of the .a file in question indicates that the dates of all of the
included .o files seem to be in the correct time-range.

Trivial (example) source code on request, of course.

Can anyone running 4.3 confirm or deny that mult() and pow() work or don't work
as advertised on various other systems man pages?  (since my home-box seems t
be missing the man-pages for the library routines.)

Regards,

(And, yes, I aplogize in advance if I hapened to commit a heinous error in my
coding, but (as of yet) I don't think that I have.)
