Subject: $[ 09.5 ]  -- bad math expression
Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2012 23:30:34 +1300 (NZDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1212022323450.27859@oreo.lan> (raw)

with zsh 4.2.1 i get what i'd expect here:

 	echo "$[ 09.5 ]"
 	9.5

and all math operations work as expected. with zsh 4.3.10, this is broken:

 	echo "$[ 09.5 ]"
 	zsh: bad math expression: operator expected at `.5 '

and all math operations using "09.5" result in errors. the problem seems 
to come up when using a non-integer with a leading zero.

is this a known bug? are there any workarounds?

thanks...
