I imagine that you might have gotten lucky with the optimiser.  I'm
guessing that "d" is passed in a register, and that register is
accidentally preserved right through until the call to floor, the call
to floor is possible inlined.

If you made a call to another function before floor, then you would
probably get broken results.
