Summary: Cold Iron ammo costs too much

Initial Comment:
Taking a standard Arrow and adding the Cold Iron
property to it in Create Custom Item increases the
price from 0.05gp to 1.05gp, instead of to 0.10gp as it
should.  Similarly when working with the Arrows (20)
item, the price goes from 1gp to 40gp, instead of to
2gp as it should.

The entry for Cold Iron in the
rsrd_equipmods_enhancing.lst looks alright, so it's not
clear to me where the source of this bug is, or even
whether it's a code or data bug.

I think (haven't looked yet) that it's much more likely to be 
applying the rule that makes a 0.05 gp arrow, made from
adamantine (+60 gp) cost 61gp.  60.0 + 0.05 when I went
to school was 60.05 gp.

Given the above, 1sp for a cold iron arrow is complete madness
and makes no sense whatever.  It should be 0.05 + 0.05 = 1.05
I really think someone at wizards seriously messed this up and
instead of admitting that adamanine arrows should cost 60.05 gp
they've introduced this fudge.

I'm guessing it's incorrectly rounding the quantity up to
1gp somewhere.  Int instead of a Float perhaps?

I've confirmed this behavior in the current Alpha release 5.9.4.
I've checked the LST for errors but see nothing wrong.
The price of the modifier is set in the cost tag COST:BASECOST which 
should simply add the original cost back to the new item doubling it.
Instead it does this wierd thing, it seems to have no problem with items 
priced higher than 1gp.
