 From [http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
 devel/browse_thread/thread/abe39e9167ab386c this conversation] on sage-
 devel :

 {{{
 Using n() sometimes returns the wrong number of digits

 This is correct:

 sage: a = n(golden_ratio, digits=5000)
 sage: len(str(a))
 5001

 This is not:

 sage: a = n(golden_ratio, digits=5000000)
 sage: len(str(a))
 4999989

 Any clue?
