Thanks Martin!
It does really help!
It means you have the same problem as me, and that it is worth
tracking it down :)
The problem occurs only in seldom cases, with specific numbers, and
the error introduced can easily get mixed up with usual floating point
precision issues, if not disappear among them, so it's quite likely to
pass un-noticed and have no serious consequences...
