	I just saw a couple of articles, here and here saying that an issue has been identified where users of Mac OS X 10.4.8 on an Intel based Mac are experiencing rounding and truncating errors. -- David

	Thanks for the links David. Interesting... although I don't think this is part of the problem we are experiencing as we use the math libraries that come with the Intel compiler. But you never know I guess...

	So far I know occurrs the rounding problem only if the application is running in rosetta. I am crunching six different BOINC projects with native Intel MacOS applications, and had no invalid results, expect at docking@home.
