Testing
-------
+ - The dt_arith test failed on IBM Power8 and Power9 machines when testing
+ conversions from or to long double types, especially when special values
+ such as infinity or NAN were involved. In some cases the results differed
+ by extremely small amounts from those on other machines, while some other
+ tests resulted in segmentation faults. These conversion tests with long
+ double types have been disabled for ppc64 machines until the problems are
+ better understood and can be properly addressed.
