I am also wondering about careless whitespace.

postgres=# select 9/1e1;
?column?
------------------------
0.90000000000000000000
(1 row)

postgres=# select 9/1 e1;
e1
----
9
(1 row)

In any case, I tried copying-and-pasting parts of the originally
mentioned query, and I saw nothing that looked like misbehavior.
Please show an exact, self-contained test case if you want us
to believe there's a bug here.
