printf error?

[Robinson, Mark]

hi

Compiled bash version 3.1.16 on Solaris 9 (AIX 5.1 also shows problem)
after configuring without parameters.  Got this error:

%  ./bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.16(3)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.9)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
% ./bash -c 'printf "%0.5d\n" 1'
1

I would expect:

% /bin/bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.10)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
% /bin/bash -c 'printf "%0.5d\n" 1'
00001

Any ideas, anyone?

cheers
mark
