The following program:

#include <stdio.h>
int
main(void)
{
    long double Demo = (unsigned long long)(-1);

    printf("Demo     = %.0Lf\n", Demo);
    printf("Demo - 1 = %.0Lf\n", Demo-1.0L);
    exit(0);
}

produces the following (erroneous second line of) output:

Demo       = 18446744073709551615
Demo - 1 = 18446744073709551613


Is this a known problem?
