Unfortunately this test-case actually came from test-query..  It had
created a random transaction that happened to have those two values as
the amount and value and was trying to compute the shareprice.
Obviously that calculation failed, which caused the test-query to
fail.

Could you please explain exactly what a division overflow means?

If this test-case really is going to over-flow on this operation then
we need to fix all the other tests to make "reasonable" random
gnc-numerics.  Go run 'test-query' and watch it fail consistently
(although not necessarily 100% of the time).
