--- Comment #2 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
This is normal: computers represent numbers as binary numbers, and not all
decimal numbers are representable as finite binary floating-point numbers.
E.g., a simple 0.1 is not finite in binary form.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point#Accuracy_problems.

Users working with fractional numbers should account for that.

Closing NOTABUG.
