[IronPython] eval('123.456E-19')*2.0

[Dino Viehland]

Thanks for the bug report, I'll get it filed and it seems like we should be able to get this one fixed for the next release.

This is just a problem with displaying the actual value to its full precision.  For example:

print '%g' % (eval('123.456E-19')*2)

Prints:

2.46912e-17

so the value is there, it comes back from eval fine, we multiply it fine, we just print it incorrectly.
