Peter,
  I have isolated the problem and it is now fixed in cvs.  Trailing zeros after a decimal
point were supposed to be trimmed, but the trailing-zero trimming was also occurring on
numbers without a decimal point.  100000 worked only because of a quirk that caused it to
have an intermediate value of "100000.0".  I have corrected this as well, though I doubt
many people will notice as its effects are more subtle.

  Thank you for your report.
