This is a bug in 8A428.  I discovered this before the release (but  
apparently not soon enough).  It's an obvious bug in the  
implementation of modf, which is one of the things that I would  
expect to be fixed in Mac OS X 10.4.1 (you might want to check for  
seeds if you have a key).

I publicly documented this a couple weeks ago:
