My version is now :
gpc version 20010331, based on 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
My platform : Intel Pentium 120 + Windows 98.

The difference between us is probably due to the floating-point
representation.
On my machine, LongReal type is the Intel IEEE Double-Extended which has
a size of 80 bits (stored in 96 bits). [<SizeOf(LongReal);> gives 12.]
I guess it's different on your computer.
