A few hours ago, the documentation of sqrt in numbers.texi was
changed from saying that it returns a NaN to saying that it signals a
domain-error. It definitely returns a NaN on my machine.
I think that is a bug--why does it not signal an error?
As Eli pointed out, it is probably due to my glibc version. So I will
definitely _not_ install the change to numbers.texi which I proposed.
