[fpc-pascal] Floating point question

[Thomas Kurz]

Thank you all!!!!

Finally I understand what's going wrong and can take care of that.

I'm now using the "{$MINFPCONSTPREC 64}" and have the correct result. Again, thank you for pointing me to that behavior!

I think this discussion shows that the 2.2 compiler change was a bad idea (for modes other than 
Delphi).
