Two people have written me saying this is a precision error that is to be
expected.
Folks, precision errors happen at the ends of arrays, not the beginning.
Also, I'm ADDING. Precision errors typically happen on division or
multiplication. (Mostly just division).
The only computational error one could expect on adding is overflow.
Further replies may be posted to the newsgroup, which I am now monitoring.
