well semi-official i guess. at least its in the /contrib section on mirrors.
btw i redid the test both with an .i686 and an .i386 rpm and both fail in the
same way. i guess this is one more reason to update to 9.x when i have time.

isn't this error message misleading? i would think 1940/100000=0.0194 is the
correct number (i.e. expected) and 5.80888e+17 is wrong (thus observed in my
test).
