Synopsis: optimization causes incorrect math

State-Changed-Why:
    You don't want to use 
      point.x = (int) move.x;
    but want to round it to the next integer. With optimization,
    move.x is about 6e-16 smaller than 112, without it is equal
    to 112 (which is actually representable exactly as a 
    floating point number). Such differences at the level of
    round-off are to be expected with optimization.
