#521: Float problem with 8.1 and 9.1

Comment(by e...@…):
Actually, this should be fixed with the float changes in #159. This
problem stems from the last two bits of the floating point number being
used as flags, so there is a lose in precision. Worse is that in 32-bit
mode, floating point is done with 32-bit floats, so the two bit lose in
precision is even worse:
{{{
% macruby -e 'puts 8.1'
8.09999999999999
% arch -i386 macruby -e 'puts 8.1'
8.09999847412109
}}}
With the changes in #159:
{{{
% miniruby -e 'puts 8.1'
8.1
% arch -i386 miniruby -e 'puts 8.1'
8.1
}}}
