I should try to resurrect the bc version (which doesn't need the canning
junk, bc being the POSIX tool for arbitrary-precision arithmetic.)
There was an error on one of akpm's machines long ago which confused the
bcrap out of us, because bc hadn't changed, but recently someone pointed
to a bug in *make* (relating to pipes) from around that era which would
have explained (a) the failure, and (b) why it only hit one box even
though bc was the exact same version.
