java.text.DecimalFormat.parse() is inconsistent with Double(String) constructor

Name: dfC67450 Date: 11/27/97



java.text.DecimalFormat.parse(String str, ParsePosition pp) loses precision
when str is parsed as double.
 
Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

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

public class TestP {
    public static void main (String args[]){
        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();
        String str = "0.1234";
        Double d1 = new Double(str);
        Double d2 = (Double) df.parse(str, new ParsePosition(0));
        System.out.println(d1.doubleValue());
        System.out.println(d2.doubleValue());
    }
}

---------Output from the test---------------------
0.1234
0.12340000000000001
--------------------------------------------------
