Backport #9305: BigDecimal inconsistent between 2.0, 2.1 (probably incorrect on 2.1)

BigDecimal / BigDecimal seems to round off.

The test case has not been reduced to trivial, but it's pretty small and should be pretty clear.

ruby bigdecimal_spec.rb
passes for ruby 2.0.

Fails for ruby 2.1

ruby 2.1.0p0 (2013-12-25 revision 44422) [x86_64-darwin13.0]

Without an actual patch, I don't think we can merge a failing test.

Could you help in the discussion on #9316?

Also we don't accept backport tickets directly, if the bug exists in trunk it should be reported and fix there first.

Thanks!
