89.0. "Bug in STR$DIVIDE" by HARE::STAN () Fri Jun 29 1984 16:46
There is a bug in the RTL routine, STR$DIVIDE which can cause
a division of two numbers with large precisions to come out wrong
around the 28th decimal place.  The error occurs whenever a
"borrow" is necessary from 15 consecutive decimal zero digits.
The bug will be fixed in maintenance release V3.7.
