Possible insanity, or is it LC 7.0.1?

Yes, verified this - new stack, new button, put this script onto it, and this
is what it does.  This is Debian, 7.0 Community Edition.  Also verified it
in multiline message box and tried a couple of other things.

What is really weird is that if you just change 1.884956 to 1.88495, it
seems to run fine.  Also, if you change the +0 to +1 it seems to run fine
with 1.884956.

Then if you add 3 to the number as in 1.884956, ie 1.8849563 it runs fine
with +0.  Then if you change 1.884956 to 1.884955 it runs fine.

What on earth can it be?
