iPhone - Calculator Math Bug

Here are some bugs that prove that iPhone calculator is kind of screwed at this moment. Maybe some will say "Why you need a 'proper' calc on iPhone - will you use it?". Though, provided Stocks app oriented on business users - they might need proper and reliable (!!!) figures calculation :)

I know it is not a science calc, but at least it could do a decent math with limited precision. And btw - the .0000000000 crash is nice - more likely it bumps into a devision by zero, but i am not very sure :)

3) input either 0.5555555555 - you will get on screen 0.5555555556. The same with entering 0.9999999999 -> giving directly 1

4) very small negative number multiplied with very small positive number shows on screen -0.0000000000, EVEN THOUGH if you continue multiplying the number by itself, the number is getting smaller, until it like underflows and start either giving strange exponents, either arriving at result of 1 :)

Bugs:

1) input directly dot then ten zeros -> calculator crash

2) negative exponent overflow - sometimes (for specific number patterns), when exponent is reaching e-90, it overflows to e160 or something like this

I don't know when you'll ever need to calculate .0000000000 or any number that low. I guess it is a little messed up not so it won't get the job done. Weird.
