Description:
------------
5.5 is wrongly rounded to 5 (even with PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP)

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$n = 2.2459431618637;

echo "Expected 5.5 / is " .
     round(pow(1024, $n - floor($n)), 2, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP) . "\n";

echo "Expected 5.5 / is " .
     round(pow(1024, $n - floor($n)), 1, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP) . "\n";

echo "Expected 6   / is " .
     round(pow(1024, $n - floor($n)), 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP) . "\n";

echo "Expected 5.50 / is " . number_format(pow(1024, $n - floor($n)), 2) . "\n";
echo "Expected 5.5  / is " . number_format(pow(1024, $n - floor($n)), 1) . "\n";
echo "Expected 6    / is " . number_format(pow(1024, $n - floor($n)), 0) . "\n";


Expected result:
----------------
See output (line 3 and 6 are wrong):

Expected 5.5 / is 5.5
Expected 5.5 / is 5.5
Expected 6   / is 5
Expected 5.50 / is 5.50
Expected 5.5  / is 5.5
Expected 6    / is 5


Actual result:
--------------
See expected result.

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might 
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly 
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is, read this:
http://www.floating-point-gui.de/

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

On my system, pow(1024, $n - floor($n)) == 5.4999999999989.
