Issue status update for http://smalltalk.gnu.org/node/308 Post a follow up: http://smalltalk.gnu.org/project/comments/add/308

Project:      GNU Smalltalk
Version:      <none>
Component:    Base classes
Category:     bug reports
Priority:     minor
Assigned to:  Unassigned
Reported by:  nice
Updated by:   nice
Status:       active

5000000000000001.0 asExactFraction -> 5000000000000001

This Float is thus represented exactly.
Unfortunately, trying to round it introduces some avoidable
inexactness:

5000000000000001.0 rounded -> 5000000000000002

This is http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7134
I presume the patch can be ported to gst easily.
