I take care of software I develop. I appreciate feedback on problems with my software. I was one of the first to point out the problem with a new Intel chip that gave rise to a similar problem. I guess now people just throw up their hands trying to have some IEEE-type standard for rounding, and criticize the messenger. Good luck.
