--- Comment #1 from Conrad Meyer <cem at freebsd.org> ---
Note that as soon as you set ibase=2, numbers are input in base 2.  obase=10
assigns 0b10 (== decimal 2) to obase.  You want obase=1010, or assign obase
before changing ibase.  I believe this is identical in GNU bc.

$ bc  (GNU)
bc 1.06

$ /usr/bin/bc   (BSD)
