dear all,  
i just spotted a little bug in ruby/lib/1.8/bigdeciaml/newton.rb  
there in line 63 it says:

```
      raize "Failed to reduce function values."

```

this will raise a NoMethod error instead of the intended RuntimeError  
with the given message.  
also there are no unittests added to the files in bigdecimal. are they  
completely lacking unittests or are the tests somewhere else?

best wishes,  
– henon
