I have applied patch OSF400-037 on my DU 4.0. From the doc
osf400-037.CVRLET_TXT, it stated that before a patched kernel, the test
program the kit includes should give the following result:
        DBL_QNAN:7FF8000000000000
         generated:7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
        FLT_QNAN:7FC00000
         generated:7FFFFFFF
which I was getting. But the patched kernel should result in:
        DBL_QNAN:FFF8000000000000
         generated:FFF8000000000000
        FLT_QNAN:FFC00000
         generated:FFC00000
However, on my system, it was showing the following:
        DBL_QNAN:FFF8000000000000
         generated:FFF8000000000000
        FLT_QNAN:FFFFFFFFFFC00000
         generated:FFFFFFFFFFC00000
Is it "normal" to show all the extra Fs?

Also, does this patch change the patch level of the system? It still shows
V4.0 386.
