Hi!
I just found a bug in our win32 implementation of rint() that causes
round() to not round to the nearest integer.
I will fix this for the next MySQL-Win32 version.
This will solve everything, except the problem with rounding of x.5 ;
This will always be rounded downwards. (Sorry, but I don't know how
to fix this on easily on Win32)
Regards,
Monty
