Description James Burns 2007-05-10 13:23:11 UTC 
The GLSL exponential function does not generate the correct result.  Symptom - shader working on NV does not perform same on OSMESA.  The following line:

float f = exp(-k*gl_FogFragCoord);

was replaced with:

float f = pow(2.718281828, -k*gl_FogFragCoord);

After making the replacement, the shader performed correctly again.

Test codes have verified this problem.
