Weird stock value behavior

[Jonathan Corbet]

FYI...

I've installed the 1.6.4-2.1 package put up for Debian unstable.  Here's an
interesting bit of behavior, found through a binary search....  If I put in
a stock account with 196,241 shares, all works well.  As soon as it goes to
196,242, the value of the account turns negative.  It looks like something
is overflowing somewhere?

1.4.x works fine with that account, BTW.
