** Changed in: gcalctool (Ubuntu Lucid)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Committed

** Description changed:

  gcalctool evaluates the tanh function incorrectly.
  
  gcalctool:
-   Installed: 5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2
-   Candidate: 5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2
+   Installed: 5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2
+   Candidate: 5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2
  
  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
  Release:        10.04
  Codename:       lucid
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
- Run "gconftool --solve 'tanh 0.1'".  It will print 0.549833997, although
+ Run "gcalctool --solve 'tanh 0.1'".  It will print 0.549833997, although
  the actual answer is 0.099667995.  This is also repeatable using the
  graphical calculator interface.
  
  This has been fixed in Debian (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604032) and Natty, but it's still a problem in
  Lucid.  Can you please add the patch to Lucid and SRU this?  It's a very
  simple patch, and it's pretty bad to have the default calculator in
  gnome give incorrect answers.
