Package: python2.3
Version: 2.3.5-1
Severity: normal

The interpreter is doing nasty things to floats:

>>> 32
32
>>> 32.1
32.100000000000001

The problem occurs for any floating point number I enter, and it rounds
down, too:

>>> 32.9
32.899999999999999

I marked this as critical because this could very easily lead to
security holes, unexpected pricing changes, and so on.
