Fix atanf spurious underflows (bug 18196).
The sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32 version of atanf produces spurious underflow exceptions for some large arguments, because of computations that compute x^-4. This patch fixes this by adjusting the threshold for large arguments (for which +/- pi/2 can just be returned, the correct result being roughly +/- pi/2 - 1/x) from 2^34 to 2^25. Tested for x86_64 and x86. [BZ #18196] * sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32/s_atanf.c (__atanf): Use 2^25 not 2^34 as threshold for large arguments. * math/auto-libm-test-in: Add another test of atan. * math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
