["Dunbar, Norman" <norman.dunbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oops :

>> 9...9/1000/60/60/24/365.25/100 = 316880878140290 millennia.
>> 9...9/1000000/60/60/24/365.25/100 = 316880878140.29 millennia.

Of course the 100 divisor in the above should be 1000 - cut & paste
error (twice). The results are correct. (Unless my arithmetic is broken
of course.)

Cheers,
Norman.
