Oops, I see your compiler/python version is already there. Mine are

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jun 15 2008, 18:24:51)
[GCC 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8)] on linux2

Can you try checking the functions log1p and exp separately for all three
floating types? Something like

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.log1p(np.ones(1, dtype='f')*3)
array([ 1.38629436], dtype=float32)
>>> np.log1p(np.ones(1, dtype='d')*3)
array([ 1.38629436])
>>> np.log1p(np.ones(1, dtype='g')*3)
array([1.3862944], dtype=float96)


And the same with the exponential function.
