Yes.
I mean, I have used exactly the same algorithm (obtained by mechanically
transforming the scmutils code into C), and I've been looking at its
operation, and noticed that the results of floating point operations
differed between Guile and C for the same input data.
However, it turned out that it wasn't those differences that caused the
trouble, and I currently believe that the numerical differences can be
tolerable for my application.
