Well... then it shouldn't be using FPC? ;)

Ok, forget about the rocket launcher. The important note that I think need to be addressed is the bug only occurs if the milisecond part of a or b is 0. Other than 0, then those functions work correctly.

I believe most of us rarely write a program that need precision to milisecond, usually we simply put 0 on the milisecond part. The worst thing is, the other similar functions e.g. HoursBetween etc. which commonly used are also affected by the bug. So, the simple thing could lead to a serious problem.

Should I report this to mantis?
