Using integers the threshold is between 20 and 21. Something to do mit

Dear list -
I am a bit puzzled by the behavior of agrep:
The following command finds a match:
agrep("Staatssekretar im
Bundeskanzleramt","Bundeskanzler",max.distance=.6)
But if I _increase_ the maximum distance to .9 it fails:
agrep("Staatssekretar im
Bundeskanzleramt","Bundeskanzler",max.distance=.9)
What am I missing? (If we use integers in max.distance the threshold
is between 30 and 31)
