    Chris> I happened to observe the following rounding bug.  It happens in
    Chris> Stackless Python, which is built against the pre-unicode CVS
    Chris> branch.

    Chris> Is this changed for 1.6, or might it be my bug?

I doubt it's your problem.  I see it too with 1.6a2 (no stackless):

    % ./python
    Python 1.6a2 (#2, Apr  6 2000, 15:27:22)  [GCC pgcc-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)] on linux2
    Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
    >>> round(3.1415926585, 4)
    3.1415999999999999

Same behavior whether compiled with -O2 or -g.
