No.  Just like in the other case, i gets converted to a double,
multiplied, and converted to an integer.  By pure luck in the
other case the temporary result (before conversion back to integer)
is a bit over 6.0; in this case, it obviously is smaller than 6.0 .

You might want to use a different rounding method than truncate-to-zero.
