Thanks for the info. In my line of work, the numerical values of 
quantitites often extend well above 10^12 (often going up to 10^22). 
With this kind of a bug, I think that the time spent in trying to scale 
by hand would be prohibitive. Maxima is good, but I guess I will stick 
with Mathematica for now.

I wish I could help but I am short on time plus I do not know LISP.
