+It must be a rounding error when getinfo converts to floating point to return the JSON-RPC result.  The only place where it uses floating point to represent money is returning a value in JSON-RPC.
+
+1.139999999999 is longer than bitcoin can internally represent.
+
+internally, it could only be:
+1.13999999 or
+1.14000000
+
+1.139999999999 is much much closer to 1.14000000 than 1.13999999, so it must be 1.14000000.
+
+The code is this:
+(double)GetBalance() / (double)COIN.
+
+(I can't think of an easy way to fix it at the moment)
