math.h: numerical values in question


Hello,

Perhaps some numerical values stored in math.h are not as accurate as they could be,
for example

diff -uNr a/math.h a/math.h
--- a/math.h	2014-08-07 18:26:21.000000000 +0200
+++ b/math.h	2014-08-07 19:31:51.000000000 +0200

On the other hand, if some value is not "as one would expect", please
add a comment.
