REPOST: Is this a bug?

[Gilbert]

Hi!

I am wondering if the following results below imply any bug in Python
2.2 or 2.1?
When I try to use float numbers, python 2.2 and 2.1.1 shows a little
bit different results (I think it is incorrect) from what I enter. 
But python 1.5.2 seems to be okay?  What is wrong?

If you know why and how they are different, please let me know.

Thanks!
