The problem is that we shouldn't really be doing a test for equality, because floating point arithmetic isn't an exact science. We need to change it to test for equality +/- some small percentage, to take account of floating double precision.

The 1.0.0 release includes a fix for this problem, using a range comparison rather than exact equality test.
