The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      4603
Logged by:          Stefan Hoffmann
Email address:      hoffst@maxinf.de
PostgreSQL version: 7.4
Operating system:   ubuntu linux server
Description:        float4 error
Details:

some specific values such as 20048223 or -25771373 can't be stored in float4
. they are replaced by 20048224 and
-25771372 when inserted or updated in float4 .
is this a problem of 7.4 or caused by "inexact" float4 ?
