I just took care of this. The problem arises from a slight
inconsistency[1] in dtoa's handling of a precision of 0 (and a
corresponding bug in my code). Specifically, if you tell it to
print 0.0 or any number >0.5 and <10 using precision 0 in the
mode used for %f, it will tell you that the decimal point comes
after the first digit by setting expt to 1. But for numbers >0
and <=0.5, it sets expt to 0 instead. (I think the rationale is
that in the latter cases, the leading digit isn't significant.)
