OK, I'll go back to the click code I found in the csqrt function.
However, my personal experience is that when numerics has nans in it,
that the program slows down to snails pace. This is with FreeBSD. This
is actually quite annoying. A program that takes 30 seconds suddenly
takes 10 minutes, and when you look at the output it is all nans. All
that time for nothing!
I will look in fdlibm as you suggest.
