python26 package - broken floating point on ds101j

[blorgbeard]

I'm getting this weird python behaviour on my Synology DiskStation 101j:

     Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, May 31 2009, 03:55:41)
     [GCC 3.3.4] on linux2
     Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
     >>> .1
     1251938906.2350719
     >>> .1
     0.23507189750671387
     >>> .1
     0.0
     >>> .1
     -1073741823.0
     >>> .1
     -1073741823.0
     >>> .1
     -1073741823.0
     >>>

It gives the same output for `0.1`, `0.5`, `5.1`, `0.0`, etc.. Integers are echoed back at me correctly, but anything with a decimal point gives me the crazy numbers.

The package in question is python26_2.6.2-2_armeb.ipk

Have I configured something incorrectly, or is this a bug?
