Yes, that would explain it.  I assumed that Python automatically
switched from hardware floating point to multi-precision floating
point so that the user is guaranteed to always get correctly rounded
results for +, -, *, and /, like Flaming Thunder gives.  Correct
rounding and accurate results are fairly crucial to mathematical and
scientific programming, in my opinion.
