Ha, we were having the same problem at the Dutch Olympiad of Informatics(??).
You can add 0.0001, or a smaller number, and it works.
It's not a compiler bug, QB45 does it, GCC/Linux does it, GCC/DJGPP does it,
I haven't tested it on FreeBSD yet. It's because the CPU stores FP numbers in
a way that doesn't look like integers.
