of course, it is a rounding problem. but the fact, that some objects in some 
cases are rounding up ([print], [numberbox], [msgbox]) and others down 
([int]) makes the story more complicated, see attached patch. it could be 
annoying sometimes, since represantion differs from effective values. what 
is a good solution for handling with this? insert a [+ 1e-006]?
