I'm using Python 3.1.2 (r312:79149, Mar 21 2010, 00:41:52) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32. Running the following code:


    import profile
    import math
    import decimal
    
    
    def show_bug():
        x = decimal.Decimal.from_float(math.e)**(-2**31)
    
    profile.run('show_bug()')

And I get this stack trace:
