loads fails for unicode string with floating number

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. import simplejson as json
2. json.loads(u"0.10000000000000001")

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would like to see 0.10000000000000001 (actually 
json.loads("0.10000000000000001") returns 
it)
Instead I get:
In [9]: json.loads(u"0.10000000000000001")

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using simplejson-2.0.9. The problem reproduces on Mac OS X and Linux boxes
