--- Comment #1 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> ---
Note that as soon as you set ibase=3D2, numbers are input in base 2.  obase=
=3D10
assigns 0b10 (=3D=3D decimal 2) to obase.  You want obase=3D1010, or assign=
 obase
before changing ibase.  I believe this is identical in GNU bc.

$ bc  (GNU)
bc 1.06
