Well it depends. The very first version of calctool (on which gcalctool
is based) was released in 1986. You can find it at:

Isn't google amazing?

The multi-precision arithmetic engine was added in 1990, so that's 
really the one that should be counted, so it's had 13-14 years of
testing.

Bugs are likely to be in the GUI if anywhere.
