Whats up with bc (i686)?

hi guys
whats up with bc on i686?

time echo "scale=3000; 4*a(1)" | bc -l

shows you PI with 3000 chars after coma.

output on i686:

$ time echo "scale=3000; 4*a(1)" | bc -l

real    0m0.018s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.004s

output on 64bit:

$ time echo "scale=3000; 4*a(1)" | bc -l
3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307\
[....]

real    0m28.595s
user    0m28.574s
sys     0m0.016s

The time (on i686) is non realistic, and where is the output?
Is it a bug?

greets

I had exactly the same situation with you on i686.
Makepkging bc from the source solved the problem for me, just don't know why.
