Description Craig Leres freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 1997-07-28 05:50:00 UTC 
	2.2.2-RELEASE ships with bc 1.03 but 1.04 has been out since
	April. (In particular, 1.04 defaults to DOT_IS_LAST, making
	dot be the value of the last expression.)

Fix: 

ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/bc-1.04.tar.gz
How-To-Repeat: 
	% bc -l
	bc 1.03 (Nov 2, 1994)

Will give it a try ;-) 
I suggest importing bc-1.04 to the contrib tree and 
creating Berkeley Makefiles in gnu/usr.bin/bc 
give me some time.... ;-)
