Subject: Float#to_s ???

I think I'm going mad....

       >> t, f = Time.now.to_f, 1.5
       => [1042465260, 1.5]
       
       >> puts t, f
       1042465260
       1.5
       => nil

       >> puts t.class, f.class
       Float
       Float
       => nil

Why doesn't "puts Time.now.to_f" print the fractional part of the
current epoch second?

I've confirmed that it "is_a?" Float.  And I've done it several times,
to be sure that it's not falling on an exact second.

This is Cygwin Ruby 1.6.8, BTW.  On Windows XP.
