java.text.DecimalFormat.format(long, StringBuffer, FieldPosition) throws
unexpected "java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero" if groupingSize field
of DecimalFormat object is set to 0.

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-----------------Test.java------------------------
import java.text.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main (String args[]){
        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();
        df.setGroupingSize(0);
        StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer("");
        FieldPosition fp = new FieldPosition(0);
        System.out.println(df.format(123, sBuf, fp));
    }
}
---------Output from the test---------------------
java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
        at java.text.DecimalFormat.appendNativeDigits(DecimalFormat.java)
        at java.text.DecimalFormat.format(DecimalFormat.java)
        at TestForm.main(TestForm.java:9)
