Hello,

I read different alarming comments and I'd like to point out a few points.

- We know some roundings can be wrong. I'm surprised a customer had to 
dubble calculate and correct with 0.01 lines. In many case this error 
should remain undetected.

- Are we sure the reason of this was rounding error as we describe it 
today ? I mean a difference between binary float and decimal leading to 
wrong rounding ? There are many other bugs around.

- This error alone is not supposed to result in debit != credit in most 
of the cases.

- I gave an exemple where two similar but different binary float 
calculations lead to x != x, thus a potential debit != credit, but this 
may never happen in openerp (probably by chance), we should check this 
point first.

My last point is that we live with it since 2006, and I feel more 
concerned about V4 and V5 systems used in production than about V6 
prototype.

IMHO, if some improvement is to be done, the priority would be V5. 
Delaying V6 to solve something we don't feel mandatory in today V5 
stable-production version makes no sens to me. So, I wouldn't postpone 
V6 for this reason and would prefer a decision on V5.

regards
