Package: rpncalc
Version: 1.34
Severity: normal
When I compute '23 !' (factorial), the result returned was incorrect.
Here is a transcript:
mickey@bunny:~$ rpncalc
rpncalc version 1.34. Copyright © 1993-2004 David Frey et. al.

22 !

23 !
2: 1124000727777607680000
1: 25852016738884978212864
The result must be '25852016738884976640000'.
I think it's a problem with the C double precision.
So, it could be a good idea, if the fix is not easy to do,
to report this error to the user by an Overflow message for example.
Best regards.
