> `emacs -Q'.  Please open Calc (C-x * *) and type `@ 1 RET', `@ 2 RET'
> and `-' (substract 2 minutes from 1 min.).  This hangs Emacs seemingly

Calc goes into a loop when trying to put the result into proper form.
This isn't a regression; it has been around for a while; I commit a fix
to the trunk tomorrow.
