So this is a version-dependent for Free42. I remember about 8 years ago (while working on the 41Z project) I corresponded w/ Thomas about this issue and he agreed it wasn't the correct result and sent me an update... maybe it was never turned into the "official" code?

Interested to see how will this one be dealt with now.

BTW the 15C and the 15C-LE both return +1 in case you had doubts...

That sounds like a Free42 bug, or maybe an edge case in the Intel library that Free42 should work around. If I fixed this eight years ago and now it is broken again, that could be because that fix was specific to the BCD20 library that I used back then; I switched to the Intel library three years ago.

Ángel, do you remember when I made this earlier change? What date or at which version number?
If you don't, it's not a big deal, I can do a binary search through my revision history, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. :-)

Anyway, I'll look into it this weekend.
