Strange numbers in Virtuoso 6.1.5

Hello,

I am seeing some strange number errors in Virtuoso 6.1.5.

In the ADE, I type "1p" as the value for a variable and when set it appears as "1e122", "100f" becomes "1e155", "1f" becomes "1e155".

A similar error is also appearing on the drain diffusion area calculated on the FETs I am placing in my schematics, with the calculated area being displayed and netlisted as "480e155", when I think it should be "480f".

I tried upgrading my instalation from IC6.1.5-64b.500.1 to IC6.1.5-64b.500.9, but still have the same problem.

Any help appreciated.

G'day Andrew,
The other users on the machine are affected by the same bug, they just are not using transistors that are small enough to cause problems. Calculated numbers above 1.2ps appear to be fine.
Others are still using IC5141 with no problems.
More playing with the problem has me even more confused.
If I set an ADE varable to "1f" it displays as "1e155", but when I click on it to edit the value in the edit box is 1f again. Fortunalty this also netlists correctly.
If I choose to override the drain diffusion area it allows me to replace "480e155" with "480f", which I beleive to be correct. This also netlists correclty - just means that I must update the drain diffusion every time I adjust the width. This is 500.9 - 500.1 keeps the "480e155" even if I type "480f".
