This makes perfect sense to me Stefan.

Thanks again!


FWIW, I have not compiled with GCC for
a while now. My work has been on MSVC
for around the past year, so, unfortunately,
I totally forgot about linking with the
math library via `lm'. Now its all coming
back to me. Also, when I noticed this problem,
I failed to think that the IDE I am using
just might be already adding `-lm' to the
command line.

Yikes!
