This is either a grid problem or a rounding problem.  The cell either can't
be placed at the location you want or the number can't be represented
correctly after doing the multiplication by 1000.  Try changing the location
by +-.001 and see if that helps.

I think it is a rounding problem because if I use:

            set_attribute cellName bounding_box_dim_x1 129150

command instead of set_cell_loc, the report_attrib is OK.
