Similar to mine (Linux-2.0.30, gcc-2.7.2.1, same libc), which also
showed the symptom. I've also tried compiling in the past with egcs-1.1
and found many more floating point rounding differences.

So it's a gcc/libc problem. In it's defense, I'm more accustomed to
seeing more odd rounding behavior with other platforms.

btw, this is definitely *not* an issue to affect our upcoming release.
