LOL!
I have a similar example:
Run a MS Windows calculator (calc.exe), and enter the above given
keystrokes:

1. If your calculator is set to a standard view, the result is 32, as on the
american pocket calculator, but
2. If you set the calculator to professional view, the result is correct
(17) :-))))))))))))

This has been just exercised on Windows NT 4.0 workstation. Try it by
yourself :-)))
