A float fits into a single fr register.
A double fits into two fr registers (fr7 (uses fr6),fr5 (uses fr4)) 


	int    gr26 - fr7    ===
	===    gr25 - fr6    ===
	int    gr24 - fr5    float
	===    gr23 - fr4    ===

I wonder what happens if the call was int,int,float... and if that
would make a difference :)

/me goes to check

Hrmm...

        int    gr26 - fr7    ===
        int    gr25 - fr6    float
        ===    gr24 - fr5    === 
        ===    gr23 - fr4    ===

Not sure why that doesn't happen in the first example. Though 
I am no guru at this :)

Any help from more knowledgable parties would be helpful.
