Agreed, I meant the lack of trailing zeros on the others.

It's more than my personal taste Lawrence, any mathematician will back 
me up on this. Granted it's not an absolute error just as '.5' is not an 
absolute error, but neither is it best practice.  No doubt that's why 
zsh fixes it in the one case.  Anyway I don't want to belabor this it's 
a very small issue.
