Comment:

 I forgot to add this to the changelog on the wiki, but the fix for
 exactness prefix handling is only available in trunk, not in numbers 2.7.
 It only works with the 4.7.4 dev snapshot anyway (or some master version
 between 4.7.3 and 4.7.4, of course). I will make a new numbers release
 ASAP (I need to get the numbers tests compiled first, or else maybe I
 could disable the types database I guess)

 I've tested this on call-cc.org (which is also 32-bits, which we
 originally thought was the cause of this since it worked on 64-bits) and
 I've updated the changelog to reflect the fact that this only works in
 trunk.
