[svn-r4423] Purpose:
Thread-safety Bug Fixes
Description:
FreeBSD must use a different layout or mechanism for allocating objects on
the stack when compiling for thread-safe operation. Unused bits in 'long
double' variable are never used ('long double's on FreeBSD are stored in
12 bytes, but only use 10 bytes for computations), but set to different
values, causing the endianness permutation testing to generate incorrect
results and eventually fail an assertion.
Solution:
Clear the temporary variables used for determining the endianness permutation
with memset (affecting all 12 bytes) instead of just assigning a 0.0 to them
(affecting only 10 bytes)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
