Title:
  tanh function returns incorrect results

Status in “gcalctool” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gcalctool” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Committed
Status in “gcalctool” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  gcalctool evaluates the tanh function incorrectly.

  Steps to reproduce:

  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.

  Installed: 5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2
  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS

  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.
