Suggested change

	tol = 1.0e07 * EPS * absf( e );
	tol = 1.0e07 * EPS * absf( e );

@kgryte @Planeshifter The JS implementation requires a very large tolerance for numbers in the range -0.9999 to -0.41422. But, for the C implementation, the required tolerance equals EPS * absf( e ) only. I checked the implementation from the FreeBSD source, but couldn't find the reason.

FreeBSD reference: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/12.2.0/lib/msun/src/s_log1pf.c?revision=367086&view=markup

[kgryte]

Yeah, that is a very large tolerance and would indicate that something is off with the implementation.
