I found this bug while developing my Monte Carlo simulator code under -current. It showed up as incorrect calculations streaming from my random number generator of all things!!! What good are Monte Carlo simulations with bad random numbers?!! I would suggest rebuilding the world after this one gets fixed (of course), but if anyone has built any ports outside of a world build in the time since this bug crept in, those ports should be rebuilt as well.
