Sorry, missed this post.
No, it is not just you. Advice generally (and not just with regards to GFABASIC) is to use Double variables only when necessary; if possible, use Single instead.
This also relates to comparing non-integer return values from GFA functions: many of them return a Single value which does not compare well with a Double (and, remember, all non-integer 'magic' numbers in GFA are treated as Doubles) and DllVersion is a good example of this:
...sometimes works and, when mainly when compiled, sometimes does not. To get round this, convert the magic number (2.31) into a Single as follows:
