Re: Java Problems

[Peter <peter.spamcatcher@rimuhosting.com>]

Oh.  And to just simplify this test case a little more I bypass Java 
altogether and use this little C gem.  It also triggers the problem.

#include <stdio.h>
float s_i = 0.75;
void test(float i) {
         if(i!=s_i) {
                 printf("error\n");
         }
}
int main(char **args) {
         printf("Starting\n");
         long i=0;
         for (i = 0;i<100000000; i++) {
             test(s_i);
         }
         return 0;
     }
