Ditto. Thanks Brian.
I agree with your assessment that there is no imperative whatsoever to
do software fixes for something that will go away on its own in a few
weeks. I will just advise editors that {val} may LOOK like it can do
13 and 14-digit numbers, but it can’t do them consistently and they
should limit {val} to 12-digit significands. That will suffice for the
vast majority of uses for {val}.
When the servers have all been upgraded to Ubuntu (I have a programmer
friend with a triple-boot Mac with Ubuntu), then we can change the
advise to editors about {val} being able to reliably handle 14 digits.
If you can remember, can you put a Post-it Note on your last Fedora
box to e-mail me when you take it off-line?

That's great, and thanks for your attention.
