  A quick check with pari's rational -> float conversion indicates that
  "new" is a correct conversion of the rational A. 
  
  So the bug is most likely trigged by the code adding EPS to A.
  
This bug is triggered by a recent change, but not necessarily your
division changes.

It is not triggered by every invocation of tests/mpq/t-get_d, some
seeding is needed.  That means that the bug might have been undetected
for a few days.

The bug is triggered both on gcc52 and gcc42, which provide slightly different
gcc compiler releases (4.3.3 vs 4.3.1).
