That sounds strange.
Might be more an issue with Tcl 8.4 vs. Tcl 8.5. Tcl 8.5 has a totally revamped floating point handling, so that there should be no loss of precision when converting a floating point through a string rep anymore (and Tcl got big integer support based on libtommath as a side effect). Cygwin is not really a supported platform for Tcl anymore and the port is old and strange. So, guess you should use the ActiveTcl 8.5 offering, unless DRH recommends something older than Tcl 8.5 (which is the current stable branch while 8.4 is getting its last update soon).
