First go and google for "What every computer scientist should know about
floating point", and read the entire paper. Then try running your tests again,
but compile them with the "-ffloat-store" option. Then read "info gcc" about
-ffloat-store and its effects.
Then if you still think there's a bug, come back and describe it. But if you've
taken all that in, you no longer will.
