This is quite serious. When will this be resolved, and what is the problem?

Its not a bug, but it is that floats are not correct
in hardware (in the CPU).
For 100% correct results we need DOUBLE, so please
vote for it and write a email to [url]mailto:fred@purebasic.com[/url]
and tell him that DOUBLEs are very important and
should be added soon.

doubles are REALLY important, but the bug halo is referring to, is that PokeF() is documented but not implemented as it seems.

Well if that's what halo was speaking about he could have read the thread about it viewtopic.php?t=1562.

Not only would he know what the problem is, but he would have also found a workaround (which IMNSHO is way better than using Poke's anyway
