I finally got around to finding and fixing this. For posterity's sake,
it was a case of not using enough precision when translating variables
into strings for internal math purposes.
Speaking of which, I hope to get Wcalc 2.3 out into the world by the
end of the week. Its got one or two bugs left to squash before I
consider it worthy, but it's getting close.
Wcalc 2.3 will sport an expanded online help system, useful
tab-completion (of *everything*), more conversion tables, and
miscellaneous smaller features. Also, for MacOS X users, I plan on
making it a Universal Binary (wish me luck; this is harder than it
sounds).
If there are features I've promised people or bugs I've promised to
fix, please remind me. I'm going through the bug archive and my email
archive, but I may miss stuff.
Thanks!
