different answer in xamabsa, xchder, ...

[ernst jaarsma]

Installing the C++ version of NR, many code -starting with xamebsa.out, xchder.out- give answers different from the 'answers' directory. In total there are 37 algorithms not good though I do also have correct output...

platform: Linux -kernel 2.6.15
compiler: g++ 3.3.6

Any idea?

* I insalled the new gcc (4.1.1) which gave the same errors.
* I checked my machine precision with 'machar' which gave exactly the list in the book (IEEE-compliant machine, double)
