I'd start to see this not before two weeks (I have a conference, and need to finish my papers). TIm, we both know that I'm not, under any point of view, a numeric expert. So, I'd ask you a favor. Could you please send here some examples, for a given precision, of perilous "not-int ** not-int" situations, just to add them to the test cases and be sure that the modifications to Decimal are safe enough? Or just point to some docs? Thank you very much! -- .
