Summary:  division broken in System.Decimal

Original Submission:  The attached program tries to compute 1/7 with the 
decimal type (1). The result prints as "44834799017975888171469461274". For 
comparision the 1/7 is also computed via a conversion to double  and a back 
conversion to decimal (2). The result is 0.1428571428571428315532886016 this 
time. The result from (1) is then multiplied with 10 (3). This raises a 
System.OverflowException.
