I don't see this as a bug. I don't even see how you would want to rely on
FRACTION units. You always have leap seconds, leap years, localization, etc.
How do you measure half a year? The <# of days> / 2? 6 months? <# of
seconds> / 2? One day does not always equal 86,400 seconds.
Besides, the documentation clearly shows this is not supported.
**Go to: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
**Under the <time> parameter, click on Date and Time Formats, or go to:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php
**Click on Relative Formats.
It seems like you are trying to do the row with:
Format: number space? (unit | 'week')
Description: Handles relative time items where the value is a number.
Examples: "+5 weeks", "12 day", "-7 weekdays"
If you look up <number> at the top of that same page, you have the regex:
[+-]?[0-9]+
which clearly DOES NOT accept a decimal point. It accepts +, -, or nothing,
followed by one or more DIGITS.
Sorry if my formatting/caps seem a bit awkward or harsh, but I don't have the
liberty to add tags here.

On 6/18/2012 12:50 PM Est, when running:
echo date("m/d/y H:i", strtotime("-1.0 day"));
The following is returned:
06/18/12 09:50
(Minus 3 hours).

The following behavior is also present:
echo date("m/d/y H:i", strtotime("1.5 days ago"));
Results in -5 days, 5 hours.
It would be expected to return -1 day and 12 hours, being relative.

Description:
------------
PHP fails to interpret correctly the relative time string when a decimal is
used. PHP will use the character after the decimal point as the
multiplier/value in timelib_relative_time. Using an integer of 1.0, results in
no change.
Test script:
---------------
echo date("m/d/y", strtotime("+1.5 years"));
echo date("m/d/y", strtotime("+1.0 years"));
Expected result:
----------------
12/18/13
06/18/13
Actual result:
--------------
06/18/17
06/18/12
