Title:
  .dcrc file not recognized

Status in “bc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “bc” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  When using dc, the man page suggests that the ~/.dcrc file is read at
  startup.

  Using strace against dc shows that this is not the case; the ~/.dcrc
  file is never opened.

  There was a "bug" reported against Debian dc (Debian Bug 472250) that
  was reported as fixed in version 1.06.94-3.1 and the changelog reports
  that this change was made in Ubuntu dc.

  Debian bug 472250: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472250

  The ~/.dcrc is handy for a variety of things, but one thing is to set
  the precision of the calculator when starting up.
