awk, floating point and rounding

I had a person bring an interesting problem to me that appears to involve some sort of rounding inside awk. I've verified this with awk and nawk on Solaris as well as with gawk 3.1.5 on a Linux box. The original code fragment he brought me was thus: for (index=0; index < 1; index=index+.1) ...

edquota

EDQUOTA(8)						      System Manager's Manual							EDQUOTA(8)

NAME

       edquota - edit user quotas

SYNOPSIS

       edquota [ -p protoname ] [ -u | -g ] [ -r ] [ -F format-name ] [ -f filesystem ] username...

       edquota [ -u | -g ] [ -F format-name ] [ -f filesystem ] -t

DESCRIPTION

       edquota	is  a quota editor.  One or more users or groups may be specified on the command line.	For each user or group a temporary file is
       created with an ASCII representation of the current disk quotas for that user or group and an editor is then invoked on the file.  The quo-
       tas may then be modified, new quotas added, etc.  Setting a quota to zero indicates that no quota should be imposed.

       Users  are  permitted  to  exceed  their  soft  limits  for a grace period that may be specified per filesystem.  Once the grace period has
       expired, the soft limit is enforced as a hard limit.

       The current usage information in the file is for informational purposes; only the hard and soft limits can be changed.

       Upon leaving the editor, edquota reads the temporary file and modifies the binary quota files to reflect the changes made.

       The editor invoked is vi(1) unless either the EDITOR or the VISUAL environment variable specifies otherwise.

       Only the super-user may edit quotas.

OPTIONS

       -r     Edit also non-local quota use rpc.rquotad on remote server to set quota.	The -n option is equivalent, and is maintained	for  back-
	      ward compatibility.

       -u     Edit the user quota. This is the default.

       -g     Edit the group quota.

       -p protoname
	      Duplicate  the  quotas  of the prototypical user specified for each user specified.  This is the normal mechanism used to initialize
	      quotas for groups of users.

       -F format-name
	      Edit quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection).  Possible format names	are:  vfsold  (version	1  quota),
	      vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)

       -f filesystem
	      Perform specified operations only for given filesystem (default is to perform operations for all filesystems with quota).

       -t     Edit  the  soft  time  limits  for  each	filesystem.   In  old quota format if the time limits are zero, the default time limits in
	      <linux/quota.h> are used. In new quota format time limits must be specified (there is no default value set in kernel). Time units of
	      seconds,	minutes,  hours,  days,  weeks, and months are understood. Time limits are printed in the greatest possible time unit such
	      that the value is greater than or equal to one.

FILES

       aquota.user or aquota.group
			   quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       quota.user or quota.group
			   quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       /etc/mtab	   mounted filesystems table

SEE ALSO
