I have noticed that floor returns the wrong number when there are more than 15
decimal places:

> floor(6.999999999999999)
[1] 6
> floor(6.9999999999999999)
[1] 7

There is a similar problem with ceiling, so this may apply to all/most rounding
functions?

> ceiling (2.000000000000001)
[1] 3
> ceiling (2.0000000000000001)
[1] 2
