Comment 1

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

From the logs, it looks like an error in the stocks parsing code; probably in
the fraction function.

I may fix this when I port the stocks code to mozbot2.

Comment 2

[David Krause]

This would probably also be fixed when decimalization is started on the stock
exchange.... :)

Comment 3

[David Krause]

Yay!  Setting OS to new OpenBSD field :)

This bug is probably not specific to OpenBSD but that's the only one I run
mozbot's on.

Comment 4

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

This is NOT fixed in oopsbot since I have not written (and am not planning to
write) a stocks module.

Comment 5

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

New QA.

Comment 6

[timeless]

.

Comment 7

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

The mozbot2 stocks module doesn't divide.

Comment 8

[Tanner M. Young [:tmyoung]]

David: Do you still see this bug?

Comment 9

[Tanner M. Young [:tmyoung]]

Verified Wontfix since there is no new information.

David: if you have any updates please let us know.
