I found an issue with the fixed point library, and Heiko Oberdiek found the offending code and submitted a correction to fix the problem in the fixed point library.

The details can be found here.

At present, you can issue the command below to over come the problem. Eventually someone will correct the code and this won't be needed.

Code:
\endlinechar=-1 
\usetikzlibrary{fixedpointarithmetic} 
\endlinechar=13
