  • When running in bignum mode, bc was truncating the exponent of 10, resulting in a value of infinity
  • Be careful to declare the value to be multiplied with prefix number also as bigfloat before doing the ** operation ($yylval already is)
  • Now I can type things like 7e10000 and get the result I expect
