This is simple rounding error.  Down at the hardware level of PCs,
when working with floating point numbers, you are only guaranteed a
number of significant digits (varies depending on the size of the data
type).  In this case, your numbers are good up to 7 digits (NNNNN.NN),
which fits with the double data type in C.
