Reilly,
I'm afraid I'm going to have to reject your patch... I fail to see how it
solves the original bug reported by Y, particularity that the metric results
in division by 0 when price == 0... :P
The solution I was thinking about was set price to be "very small double
with a value approaching 0", but I'll defer it to Albert who may have more
experience representing infinity thanks to his background in Physics ....
Okay, so Adam might have an good equally choice to solve it cause of his
Physics work with small things at CERN, BUT it was his metric that started
this bug report... I suspect Visual Studio told him that the formula was
completely alright!
