[Numpy-discussion] strange underflows

[Jean-Bernard A. <jb...@ph...>]

Hey Numpy people!

I just compiled the last NumPy. Underflows don't give zero but generate
OverflowError: 

Python 2.0 (#2, Dec 15 2000, 15:04:31) 
[GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on linux2

Hello from .pythonrc.py
>>> import Numeric
>>> Numeric.__version__

>>> Numeric.exp(-1.42676746e+12)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
OverflowError: math range error
>>> 

How to suppress these? Any hint?
