I would have thought change # 17227 would have fixed that; it did
with a D_FLOAT build on Alpha.  Detailed output? 

That change was in this patch:

Change # 12755 should take care of that:

It's not that surprising this one fails in the test suite but
succeeds by itself; it's very time sensitive.  I occasionally see the
same thing on a slow AlphaStation 200.

With a D_FLOAT build on Alpha, the only remaining failures related to
number problems are these, all of which explicitly use numbers that
are either too large or too small to be represented in D_FLOAT:

lib/Math/BigInt/t/bare_mbi...........FAILED at test 2326
lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintpm...........FAILED at test 2326
lib/Math/BigInt/t/sub_mbi............FAILED at test 2326
lib/Math/Trig........................FAILED at test 21

I'm surprised you don't see these on VAX, especially since you were
still seeing them as of last Wednesday and I don't know of anything
that would have done the appropriate skipping.
