This is a standard problem with IEEE 754 (aka floating point numbers).
IEEE is binary and hence cannot store values like 0.1 in exect form.

Same happens in almost every other language:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

int main( int args, char* argv[] ) {
        double a1 = atof(argv[1]);
        double a2 = atof(argv[2]);
        double a3 = atof(argv[3]);
        printf( "%lf - %lf - %lf = %lf < 0 ? %s\n", 
                a1, a2, a3,
                a1-a2-a3,
                a1-a2-a3 <=0 ? "yes" : "no" );
        return 0;
}
