Product Price (Gross) field hussle

I've got a strange Product Price (Gross) field hussle. When I put in a gross price of e.g. 29, press the preview button and the update I see a gross oprice of 29.00. When I go back to edit the product the gross price has been altererd into 28.9999. I've treid this for many other (gross) prices and i've noticed that either they are raised or lowered by 0.0001. e.g. 32 becomes 32.0001. Is this a bug? and so is it known?

I'v got Zen Cart 1.3.8 installed with a tax zone for the Netherlands and a tax rate of 19%. Also got the currencies updated.

Re: Product Price (Gross) field hussle

It's a result of the fact that the store only stores the "pre-tax" value, and thus has to calculate the gross price for you manually.
