Not really, just an inconsistent implicit coercion. 'run script' takes a

trouble with the irrational 1/9, probably because the usual answer we get
(0.111111111111) is a rounding that needs an evaluation first by explicit

I believe you are 100% right here. Further tests indicate this.
I was working with trigonometric functions and used pi a lot. However, I forgot if I was sending or receiving.
Then, I did not pay much attention to what I was getting.

Thanks Paul!
