Re: [Gcl-devel] Re: [Axiom-developer] Minor bugs

Greetings!

Not sure what could be going on here.  The following results with
2.6.5 are unchanged on i386 and amd64 (Debian):

>(round -3.72)

-4
0.28000000000000025

>(truncate 9.2)

9
0.19999999999999929

>(truncate -9.6)

-9
-0.59999999999999964

>(by)

Perhaps the original poster could try this in their GCL lisp image.

Take care,
