Thanks Alexey, your observation is correct, I'll fix my patch. We cannot
replace bc/dc for 8.X, however, because re's decision was to defer this
change after the code freeze. In the meantime, all of your input is very
important so that we can polish possible remaining items. Thanks for
taking your time to try BSD bc/dc.
