What does maxima('asinh(2.0)') give on your machine?

[Dr. David Kirkby]

I'd like to know what people get when they compute

sage: maxima('asinh(2.0)')

For every machine I've tested it on,

* sage.math (Linux)
* bsd.math (OS X)
* t2.math (Solaris 10 on SPARC)
* fulvia @ skynet (Solaris 10 on x86)
* My Ultra 27 (OpenSolaris on x86)

they all give the same result

sage: maxima('asinh(2.0)')
1.44363547517881

which does happen to be correct in all digits (a higher precision result is
1.44363547517881034249327674027).

I'd be intersted however if anyone gets anything different, which might happen
with different floating point processors, so far all machines I've tested on
give the same result.

I get exactly that on both 32 and 64-bit linux, the first an Intel
dual core and the latter AMD Opteron.
