These aren't the problems to which I was referring; the round() errors
were in:

	src/display/d.zoom/cmd/set.c
	src/imagery/i.pca/cmd/main.c

I don't recall any specific problems with the above modules; I would
need to see the actual error messages to determine what was wrong. But
then a lot changed between -pre4 and the 5.0.0 release.
