[Bug-gsl] 64 bit vs 32 bit: different answers

[raameshd]

Hello,

We are building a computational software in C++ using gsl. The application
is giving different answers for a 32 bit machine and for 64 bit machines.
We tried with different processors and machines (intel and AMD) and came
to conclusion that there is discrepancy in gsl. We have attached a small
g++ program. It gives 2.07388e-317 as output for 64 bit machine and
4.86094e-270 as output for 32 bit machine.

GSL Version: 1.9
Processor: Intel Dual Core
Operating System: Ubuntu in all machines (64 bit machine has 64 bit ubuntu
and 32 bit has 32 bit ubuntu)
Compiler: g++ (GCC) 4.1.2
Problem: Different output for 64 bit and 32 bit machines.
Sample Program attached.
