------- Additional Comments From pcarlini at suse dot de 2005-04-08 09:51 ------- Yes, I agree that things seem rather crazy, indeed the behavior that you reported seemed crazy in the first place. I think all of this is a matter of compromises: when zero is involved the signedness turns out to be very surprising but, in general, we spare a full subtraction and its risks of cancellations, etc. Maybe this can explain the behavior mandated by LIA-3.
