I have run into a behaviour that looks very much like a bug to me. I am
running DGD 1.2.96 and just wanted to hear if there is a known fix to this
in later released versions?
This is what I get:
<> eval 4.3 + 5.0 - 4.3 - 5.0
$6 = 5.8207661e-11
(This is compiled as LPC code, just as for the @code command in the kernel
library I think.)
It hapens only sometimes, and not for all numbers.
If anyone knows what this is all about, please let me know also. I will
try upgrading to the lastest experimental version.
Regards,
Jimorie
