Re: [PATCH 0/4] Fix huge error for pow detected by Paul Zimmermann

       Hi Andoni,

I had time to check this patch series on top of be2749c.

I confirm the issue I reported is fixed.

In addition, the maximal known error, which was 636 ulps
apart from the above issue, has dropped to less than 1 ulp:

pow 0 -1 0x1.4c3064d46aef3p-851,-0x1.cef4118ed50c2p-10 [0.893] 0.892119 0.8921192373561432

Thank you, great work!

Paul
