Are you printf()ing them with "%Lf"?

I don't get a bug either.

----- NextPart: longdbl.c
// C:\SRC\DJBUGS>gcc -Wall longdbl.c -o longdbl.exe

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
  int fac1, fac2;
  long double ld1, ld2, ldresult;

  for(fac1 = 1; fac1 < 10; fac1++)
    for(fac2 = 1; fac2 < 10; fac2++)
    {
      ld1 = fac1;
      ld2 = fac2;
      ldresult = ld1 * ld2;
      printf("%d * %d = %Lf\n", fac1, fac2, ldresult);
    }
  return 0;
}

// Works as advertised, producing a multiplication table.
