>Description:
#include <iostream>

int main()
  {
    double r;
    int n = 38;
    unsigned long long mi = 16960000;

    r = n * 424 * 1000000 / mi;
    cout << "r = " << r << endl;


    unsigned long long t = n;
    double r1;
    r1 =  t * 424 * 1000000 / mi;
    cout << "r1 = " << r1 << endl;
  }
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the above (small) program using g++ (version 2.95.3) and run.  The value of r should be 950.  Instead,
it prints r = 1.08766e+12
>Fix:
A simple work around is also shown in the program.  Use
a temporary variable t as shown in the computation of r1.
