Tom,

I find your second result very peculiar, I hope Roger will comment on it.

 From several versions of j, I consistently get a different result -

    9!:14''
4.05/2001-05-16/11:30
    0j20": o. 1
3.14159265358979311600

    9!:14''

    0j20": o. 1

I am quite curious to see what you might get from the following 2 expressions -
