+Summary: Decimal value does not hold its digits
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Decimal does not hold the digits.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+The output from this program shows the difference:
+
+public class MyClass
+{
+	public static void Main()
+	{
+		decimal d = 250.0M;
+		System.Console.WriteLine (d);
+	}
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+$ mono dec.exe
+250
+
+Expected Results:
+$ ./dec.exe
+250.0
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+This also happens when we compile it with mcs and run on MS.NET runtime (so
+the constant value already misses the digits information).
+
+Some of System.Data tests fail depending on this.
