+        Unfortunately, there is a bug in the script engine (still present in
+	4.0.6, probably resolved in 4.0.7) so that this does not always work
+	correctly when there are negative numbers involved. However when both
+	operands are positive, there is no problem. For example: when you do 
+	<literal>-50000 * $million</literal>, the result will be
+	<literal>-429496728</literal>.
