Hello Jython Users

First, Happy new year. 

Second, Can someone explain the following result:

U:\>ver

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

U:\>jython
Jython 2.1 on java1.4.1 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 0.01 + 0.01
0.02
>>> 0.01 + 1.01
1.02
>>> 0.01 + 2.01
2.0199999999999996
>>> 0.01 + 3.01
3.0199999999999996
>>>

I am especially interested why 0.01 + 2.01 comes up with such a weird
result. Is this a issue of the JVM or Jython? 

Of course I am aware of round(x [,n]) built-in function. 

Best Regards,
Stefan Baramov
