I should have libm (all userland) updates up to early fall
of last year.  For libm in particular:

$ ident /usr/lib/libm.* | awk '{print $4}' | sort -u

I'm a little confused, though.  I replaced the kernel (same userland,
including libm and Audacity binary).  The problem seems to have
gone away.  Why doesn't that re-inforce the theory that it was a
kernel issue, rather than a libm issue?

Or did something get miscommunicated?


Thanks.
