Hi,
My Kcalc gives the also gives the incorrect answer ie . 45 + 1 = 
46.00000000000000710542735760100185871124. It will correctly add the 
first two numbers together but not subsequent sums, exactly as 
described by the original poster.

I also am using 5.4.  FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #11: Tue May 10 18:36:45 BST
