I fully agree. For instance, PHP implements it's own round function. Now there very well may be a good reason they don't just use/implement the C99 round - but one can at least expect it not to change. This isn't true, in some version (I forget which), they changed their implementation and that caused all sorts of headaches to us and our users that depend on these numbers.

Moral of the story? Don't use PHP for stats.
