Should always test myself and not trust others:
# /usr/src/web/php/php5/sapi/cli/php -n t.php
5.04499999999999992894573
5.04999999999999982236432
5.04999999999999982236432
5.05
No bug anywhere.

With this script:
<?php
$mul = 1;
$one = 5;
$two = 0.9;
ini_set("precision", 24);
$res = 5 * (1 + (0.9 / 100));
$bar = round($res, 2);
$foo = round(1 * $bar, 2);
echo $res, "\n", $bar, "\n", $foo, "\n";
echo sprintf("%1.2f", $foo);
?>
Result with PHP 4.3.3-dev:
5.04499999999999992894573
5.04999999999999982236432
5.04999999999999982236432
5.05
Result with PHP 4.2.3:
5.04499999999999992894573
5.04000000000000003552714
5.04000000000000003552714
5.04
Nokia 6120 (the $res):
5.045
TI-32:
5.045
With pen and paper:
5.045
Round 5.045 with precision of 2 == 5.05
So I think PHP 4.3.2 actually works as expected
and anything before (and after, PHP 5? :) doesn't.
Reclassified as ZE2 bug.

hmm, actually this changed between PHP 4.2.2, PHP 4.2.3 an PHP 4.3.0:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] derick]$ cat foo.php
<?php
$mul = 1;
$one = 5;
$two = 0.9;
echo sprintf("%1.2f", round($mul * round($one * (1 + ($two / 100)), 2),
2));
?>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] derick]$ php-4.2.2 foo.php
5.04
[EMAIL PROTECTED] derick]$ php-4.2.3 foo.php
5.05zend_hash.c(98) : Bailed out without a bailout address!
[EMAIL PROTECTED] derick]$ php-4.3.0 foo.php
5.05
[EMAIL PROTECTED] derick]$ php-4.3.0dev foo.php
5.05
[EMAIL PROTECTED] derick]$ php-5.0.0dev foo.php
5.04
So something is definitely screwed in the PHP_4_3 branch

This is expected behaviour. When rounding on exact halves we round
down on evens and up on odds. If you want to always force it in one
direction on a .5 (or .05 in your case) add or substract a tiny fuzz
factor. The reason behind rounding half the values down and the other
half up is to avoid the classical banking problem where if you always
rounded down you would be stealing money from your customers, or if you
always rounded up you would end up over time losing money. By
averaging it out through evens and odds you statistically break even.
If you want to learn more, search the web for terms such as "round to
even" or "banker's rounding" and you will find that most languages
actually do it this way.

Description:
------------
I am using a webhosting service of bbdsoft (www.firmos.net) so I don't
know exact OS and configuration of PHP.INI, but this bug is
independent of any config or OS, it's about round() function - it has a
big bug rounding floats!!
All the details and what's have to be is written below in the source
code and it's comments:)
Well, I saw other reports, and I think YOU SHOULD FIX THIS IN ANY CASE
AND AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!!
Reproduce code:
---------------
// at the start of the return code these variables has values:
$skerd_svoris = 1;
$rows_kriu_kain00[0] = 5;
$rows_kriu_kkoef[0] = 0.9;
// return code:
return sprintf("%1.2f",
round($skerd_svoris*round($rows_kriu_kain00[0]*(1+($rows_kriu_kkoef[0]/100)),
2), 2));
// if the code is changed to:
// return sprintf("%1.2f",
round($skerd_svoris*round($rows_kriu_kain00[0]*(1+($rows_kriu_kkoef[0]/100))+0.000001,
2), 2));
// all goes OK; so the problem is that if the number is 5.045, rounded
it will be 5.04, but if it is 5.045001 - rounded it will be 5.05. I
think You understood what I want to say:)
Expected result:
----------------
5.05
Actual result:
--------------
5.04
