Hello David.

Thank you very much for this insight.

As I understand it for now, the math.h/cmath behaviour is as expected by
defintion an correct so far in FreeBSD? If yes, it would imply that the
port graphics/blender is broken then. In the latter case the blender
developers should be correct this upstream, shouldn't they?

Again, thank you very much and for the patience explaining it again.

Regards,
Oliver
