Hi !

I was doing a simple printf but it seems like I don't get the result I
want...

The statement was  :

  printf("Vertical Retrace Time = %f \n", 1/70) ;


I was careful to use '\n' to force the statement above to be printed out
but what I got was

   Vertical Retrace Time = 0.000000


Wha ??? 


When I cast the calculation 
 
  printf("Vertical Retrace Time = %f \n", (float)(1/70)) ;

I got the result that I want....

Is this a bug in GNU ??
