Man page: expm1.3
Issue: bogus full stop after infinity

"Before approximately glibc version 2.11, B<expm1>()  raised a bogus invalid "
"floating-point exception in addition to the expected overflow exception, and "
"returned a NaN instead of positive infinity.  for some large positive I<x> "
"values,"

This page comes from POSIX. I haven't checked whether the problem was in the original source, or introduced during import of the pages.

Wait... How could a note about glibc compatibility come from POSIX?
