That was easy.  I am not sure why a=20

The remaining question is how to deal with round:
a) Use rint instead of round everywhere.
b) We use rint but make sure we are using the correct rounding mode.
c) We write our own round function using floor or ceil and use that on
   Cygwin.
d) We use rint on Cygwin, round everywhere else.
