I looked at the answer for that exercise in Tondo & Gimpel, and they 
didn't generate the float values either, so I just went on.

But I do have a new spot of trouble ATM... Right now, I'm up to 
exercise 5-7, p. 110, which asks about the relative speed of two 
different approaches; and I've never been able to get any timing code 
to work right on my OS X system.  I know this isn't related to Linux, 
but if you have any thoughts or pointers regarding this, I'd love to 
hear them.

BTW, I've come across a rather nice (if pretty inactive right now) wiki 
devoted to C, with (among other things) pages providing solutions to 
all the K&R exercises.  If anyone is interested, it's at 
http://clc-wiki.net ; and the page about the particular exercise I'm 
working on is:
http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/K%26R2_solutions:Chapter_5
