It's because Pd saves the value by printing it as text into the patch
file using a reduced precision format specifier (%g instead of %f, or
%0.6f) so that the numbers look good on screen, with no extra zeros for
example.
I don't like it either.

that's not what i mean.
i mean, that when i write 12345678 (must be 100% accurate within 32bit
float with 24bit mantissa) into an array and read it from there, it's
still 12345678.
but when i save that patch, close it and reload it, and i read from the
array, i get 12345700.
nothing to do with limitations of floating point number.
