Bug#423946: gcalctool: storage registers lose data

Package: gcalctool
Version: 5.8.25-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

In gcalctool 5.8.25-1 I can demonstrate a loss of a value in a storage register
with the following recipe.

I doubt it matters, but I entered all data using the mouse.
1, Sto->R0, CE, 2, Sto->R1, CE, 3, +/-, =, Sto->R2, Clr, Sto->R1, Sto->R0,
Calculator->Quit

Restarting the calculator shows that -3 is no longer stored in R2. Normally the
values that you store persist across invocations.
