I have not noticed any floating point inconsistencies in 10.5 with MCL 5.1b.

I just thought it very interesting that fp problems sprung up in 10.6 
only after calling _NavDialogRun in RMCL ... and that _NavDialogRun 
is also giving problems in MCL 5.1b4 (beach-ball since MCL waits for 
a semaphore that never is activated).

So it seems that the callback was somewhat screwy in 10.5, and that 
10.6 is even more stringent/critical of misuse.

I have not checked with Console to see if any "this call deprecated" 
messages are being logged.
