+Summary: OverflowException when parsing valid Decimal numbers
+
+Description of Problem:
+Some valid decimal number cannot be parsed.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Decimal.Parse ("0.523456789012345467890123456789",
+CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+Decimal.Parse ("0.0000000000000000000000000000001",
+CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+Decimal.Parse ("0.49214206543486529434634231456",
+CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+
+
+Actual Results:
+System.OverflowException : Number overflow.
+
+
+Expected Results:
+No exception (numbers are valid).
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+
+Additional Information:
+The bug may be in the runtime as the Decimal class is partly unmanaged.
