------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 I'm running GHC version 6.12.1 on Debian Squeeze. While using the
 interpreter, I started getting unexpected results in some floating point
 operations. I have run some tests to pinpoint the problem, and I got the
 following results:

 0.6+0.8=1.4 but 9.6+4.8=14.399999999999999

 0.8+5.4=6.2 but 10.8+5.4=16.200000000000003

 Is there any way to fix this?
