Oh well, after reading a couple of articles, I think I have confirmed my
suspicion; for, as I thought, it just comes down to there being too many
digits, and the floating point implementation doing some hidden
weirdness. It really sucks that you can really only expect about 15
digits of true accuracy from the Number Data type.
If I am wrong let me know.
