[issue5473] round(float, ndigits<0) sometimes rounds to odd

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com> added the comment:

I think this *is* the same issue as 1869, at least in broad terms:  the 
rounding code involves inexact floating-point operations (in this case a 
division by 10.0), which can result in a value that was *exactly* halfway 
between two rounded values losing that exactness, so that the rounding 
direction is essentially random.

Can you tell me why you think this issue is distinct from issue 1869?
