Subject: [Rd] round() doesnt (PR#1138)
Message-ID: <200110222231.f9MMViH22985@arbres1a.FMR.Com>

Hi, all,

   I swear, bug.report() ate my message!  Apologies to all, esp. Peter who
will once again have to clean up after my mess...

   The bug report was supposed to say:

R> round(100000/3, -2) - 33300
   [1] -7.275958e-12

I would have hoped for 0.  The problem seems to be specifically for negative
"digits".
