On some SCO installations or versions, bc has a bug that gets triggered when
you run the test suite (using "make test").  The message returned is "bc:
1 not implemented".  The best way to deal with this is to find another
implementation of bc and compile/install it.  For example, GNU bc (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html for download instructions) can
be safely used.
