Description:
            bash-expr problems...
            if a=500 i expect "c: 500", but produce 320
            if a="z" i expect "c: 0", but produce 40
            etc.
            (for example in zsh wvwerything works fine...:( )
            What's wrong? Why 0 (zero) make a problems? Bug?

Repeat-By:
            <bash>#  a=500; b="0$[a]"; c=$[b]; echo -e "a: $a\nb: $b\nc: $c\n"
            a: 500
            b: 0500
            c: 320

            <bash>#  a=50; b="0$[a]"; c=$[b]; echo -e "a: $a\nb: $b\nc: $c\n"
            a: 50
            b: 050
            c: 40

            <bash>#  a="z"; b="0$[a]"; c=$[b]; echo -e "a: $a\nb: $b\nc: $c\n"
            a: z
            b: 00
            c: 0

            <bash>#  last example produces correct (for me) behaviour... ;)
