Furthermore, there was a change that doesn't necessarily throw errors and
happened when a UDF was corrected. I don't remember who did it:

double EXPORT IB_UDF_log(
double* a,
double* b)
{
- return (log(*a)/log(*b));
+ return (log(*b)/log(*a));
}

People argued that the old code was against the documentation or something
alike.
