Error in fixed point arithmetic library

In summary, an "Error in fixed point arithmetic library" refers to a mistake or inaccuracy in the fixed point arithmetic library, which is used to perform calculations involving fixed point numbers. It can be detected by testing calculations and comparing results, and can be fixed by identifying and correcting the source of the error. The consequences of such an error can vary and to prevent it, thorough testing, maintenance, and updates are important.

I found an issue with the fixed point library, and Heiko Oberdiek found the offending code and submitted a correction to fix the problem in the fixed point library.

The details can be found here.

At present, you can issue the command below to over come the problem. Eventually someone will correct the code and this won't be needed.

Code: 
\endlinechar=-1 
\usetikzlibrary{fixedpointarithmetic} 
\endlinechar=13
