I get 0's on our SGI's with Irix 6.5. By the way you had a little typo on
the 2nd line (trucn).
Results for me are:
trunc(a): 0.000000
trunc(b): 0.000000
However, I my up and down button's work fine for my interactors (Scaler,
Vector, Integer). I have not extensively tested the other interactors you
had problems with, but they seem to work fine when I put them in a Control
Panel.
