Bug reference: 4603
Logged by: Stefan Hoffmann
Email address: hoffst(at)maxinf(dot)de
PostgreSQL version: 7.4
Operating system: ubuntu linux server
Description: float4 error
Details:

some specific values such as 20048223 or -25771373 can't be stored in float4
. they are replaced by 20048224 and
-25771372 when inserted or updated in float4 .
is this a problem of 7.4 or caused by "inexact" float4 ?
