A java.text.DecimalFormat object yields different results depending on previous
calls to format(). The following program illustrates the problem:

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class showdcbug
{
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("#,##0");
System.out.println( fmt.format(82800.0) );
System.out.println( fmt.format(0.0) );
}
}

OUTPUT:
=======
82,800
1

If we reverse the order of the "System.out.println(...)" lines , the output is:

OUTPUT:
=======
0
82,800
