Rounding error in gawk 3.1.1 & 3.1.4

With:

gawk '
BEGIN {
print "int(log(1000)/log(10))", int(log(1000)/log(10))
print "log(1000)/log(10)", log(1000)/log(10)
}
'

I get:

int(log(1000)/log(10)) 2
log(1000)/log(10) 3

under both Redhat Linux (2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp) and HP-UX (B.11.11)

Both results should, of course, be 3.

Is there a workaround?

Regards

Jeff Ratcliffe
