[Chicken-users] Odd floating-point representations

[Category 5]

When I evaluate most flonums the result is as expected:

>>> 0.39
0.39

But sometimes it isn't:

>>> (list 0.07 0.56 0.69 0.81 0.94)
(0.07000000000000001 0.5600000000000001 0.6899999999999999
 0.8100000000000001 0.9399999999999999)

This is problematic in some situations.  Can anyone explain what's going
on here?
