Various bugs are adressed by that update:
    -> bug 181763. Users cannot use the unsigned integer value (u16 or u32) with big numbers.
    -> bug 281541. User choice of not displaying a warning is not remembered on restart of the application.

These bugs are adressed from the 5.24.2 stable version of gcalctool. This package will be included in jaunty after being uploaded in intrepid.

TEST CASE: Bug 181763.
Launch the application, click View -> Scientific. Then click &16 (or the &32) button and enter the number 1111111111111111, and close the function call with the closing ')'. Hit enter. The result will be 0 while it should be 29127 (resp. 3047977415). It is corrected in the proposed package version.

TEST CASE: Bug 281541.
Launch the application, click View -> Scientific (if you are already in that view pick another one). Check "Do not warn me again" and then "Change Mode". Close the application, and then relaunch it. Click on View -> Basic, you will get again the warning window, while you shouldn't. It is not the case anymore with the proposed package.
