It is perhaps official CIAO mailing list policy to be overpolite and cautious in its response, but I am not one of the CIAO officials, so I can butt in like an elephant in a porcelano shop ...

I know of floating point arithmetic, but I wanted to hear a proper technical explanation, particularly concerning the inconsistency of the results and whether it would be fixed in later versions (I now know it will).
Your input to the discussion was patronising and unnecessary.
