There is a bug in which cdbl truncates the result if the decimal
separator is not a period. It was discussed here some time ago, see
http://mid.gmane.org/BANLkTinmR6KNBjzBchS_TwiiHM=cfxh...@mail.gmail.com
and the bug report in OOo bugzilla
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70236
I don't know if there's already a report in LibO bugzilla.
