Yeah no problem :-)

MS and Excel are not free of defaults (ah, that translation of function names, for us non-english users) but the bug was just too surprising, too big, and was worth a double check.

And by a curious coincidence, FP(GammaLN(51))=0.477... and FP(GammaLN(51)/LN(10))=0.483... are close so a confusion was easy.
