[haXe] Weird bug...

[Sean Charles]

understand perfectly.
I learnt that you *never* relay on zero being equal to zero when FP  
is involved as rounding errors ensure you will early always fail, as  
you correctly state, you should test the difference for being less  
than an acceptable threshold for your application

	abs( a - b ) < limit

how about functions called, $fp< $fp>, $fp== etc ?
