Hi All,

I'm running the now almost-to-be upgraded R 2.11.1 on a Intel Mac, and on a 
Ubuntu machine, but the problem I see is the same. I noticed the following 
behaviour:

407585.91 * 0.8 
[1] 326068.7  -- the right asnwer is 326068.728
round(407585.91 * 0.8, 2)
[1] 326068.7 -- same issue
407585.91/100
[1] 4075.859 -- the right answer is 4075.8591

I have no saved .Rwhatever in my environment, and I never set any option to 
have such strange rounding. I'm obviously missing something, and I'd appreciate 
suggestions.

Best,

Federico
