C and C++ allow a compiler to compute floating point expressions with
greater precision than apparent in the type, unless the value is
stored in a variable or explicitly cast.

This looks like a bug in the compiler, a cast should cut off excess
precision.
gcc has an option to turn this off: -ffloat-store
