Bug description:  ceil results -0

Hi,

the follow code results -0,

<?php
$a=ceil((1/16)-1);
echo $a;
?>

maybe, this is a convertion problem with float types.

also, why the ceil() command results a floating point number and not an
integer?
It makes sense when the ceil command accept a precision like round()...

Regards,

Steve
