  Absolutely, there's a rounding error of some sort.  Compare the difference
when compiling the testcase with -mno-cygwin (i.e. using mingw maths lib):

dk@mace /test/signed/lr2> cat aaa.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, const char **argv)
{
    printf("%0.2f\n", 0.105);
    printf("%0.2f\n", 0.115);
    printf("%0.2f\n", 0.125);
    printf("%0.2f\n", 0.135);
    return 0;
}

dk@mace /test/signed/lr2> gcc -O0 -g aaa.c -o aaa-c
dk@mace /test/signed/lr2> ./aaa-c.exe
0.10
0.12
0.12
0.14
dk@mace /test/signed/lr2> gcc -O0 -g -mno-cygwin aaa.c -o aaa-m
dk@mace /test/signed/lr2> ./aaa-m.exe
0.11
0.12
0.13
0.14
dk@mace /test/signed/lr2>


    cheers,
