I'm very new to this list, and I have to first say that 6.4beta5 fixes
every problem I had encountered with 6.3.2 (A small list..) A bug I didn't
encounter isn't a bug for me...

BUT...

Just now I saw and posted this...

testdb=> select cash_mul_flt8('$1', '123.74');
cash_mul_flt8
-------------
$123.73
(1 row)

If the pence is 0-4 it rounds down... surely that's a rounding bug because
it should be looking at the next significant figure?

It's really small, and insignificant but I guess I should tell somone...
