java.text.DecimalFormat.format behaves inconsistently in formatting
fraction part. 0.001 and 1.001 are formatted in a different way.

Please note that javadoc doesn't specify which one is correct.

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

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

public class Test {
    public static void main (String args[]){
        double d0 = 0.001;
        double d1 = 1.001;
        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();
        df.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
        String formatted0 = df.format(d0);
        String formatted1 = df.format(d1);
        System.out.println("pattern: " + df.toPattern());
        System.out.println(d0 + " formatted as : " + formatted0);
        System.out.println(d1 + " formatted as : " + formatted1);
        if (formatted0.length() == formatted1.length())
            System.out.println("Test passed");
        else
            System.out.println("Test failed");
    }
}

---------Output from the test---------------------
pattern: #,##0.##
0.0010 formatted as : 0
1.001 formatted as : 1.00
Test failed
