Right. Although I do wonder what kind of software people write to run into this problem. As Guido points out, the numbers must be the result from some computation, or created by an extension module by different means. If people have many *simultaneous* copies of 0.0, I would expect there is something else really wrong with the data structures or algorithms they use.
