> Thanks for the lecture. This is an esoteric case between bugfix and
feature that only occurs with very large context precisions.

Nobody is lecturing anyone. I am just asking why this was backported.

> If Bloomberg isn't happy with _decimal, they can stop using it.
I'm not paid by them.

Stefan, nobody has mentioned Bloomberg in this issue so please, stop.


> Also this is a rather bold statement since probably no one has ever
run _decimal on AIX with MAX_PREC.

Well, I just did and I can confirm that reverting the 3.7 backport fixes the problem.
