I take care of software I develop. I appreciate feedback on problems
with my software. I was one of the first to point out the problem
with a new Intel chip that gave rise to a similar problem. I guess
now people just throw up their hands trying to have some IEEE-type
standard for rounding, and criticize the messenger.
Good luck.
