Re: Error/Bug adding floating point numbers

[keshlam]

Decimal numbers to not always have an exact representation in IEEE 754 floating point binary. Roundoff is expected and accepted. Websearch on "floating point round" will find much discussion.

If we're rounding in ways that don't agree with that spec, there's a problem... but I'd be shocked if that was the case.
