<< I was using the conversion factors on my 86 when I noticed a bug in the
 temperature conversion.  -40 degrees F should equal -40 degrees C, but the
 calculator displays -4.4444444 degrees C.  That would be true if you added
 32 and divided by 9/5, but you subtract 32 and divide by 9/5.  Has anybody
 else found this?

You have to use parenthesis when using negative in conversions.
eg:
  (-40) f > c
