[development] Bug in _db_create_field_sql?

[mark burdett]

Did you file a bug on drupal.org?
When testing out precision 5 and scale 2, on the admin/build/modules page I got
"user warning: For float(M,D), double(M,D) or decimal(M,D), M must be >= D"
and the table is not even created (it's more of an error than a warning..)
