 Thanks Joe.
 
 I went hunting for the msun sources at Sun's web site/FTP 
 server to see if newer sources were available, but came
 up empty.
 
 I suspect that bde is the only person who has a functioning
 libm.  As far as the functionality in libm that is missing
 in msun, I would be interested in some details because I removed
 libm several weeks ago and I haven't noticed any problems
 with my computations.  Additionally, a quick glance at 
 msun/Makefile suggests that the sources in libm are not
 used in building the math library.
