I have replicated this on my Msys2 test system.


I assume it's a bug in the mingw math library. I think jacana is the
only currently reporting mingw member :-( The MSVC members appear to be
happy.


I have several releases of the mingw64 toolsets installed on jacana -
I'll try an earlier version to see if it makes a difference.
