I have been playing with the GPIO pins both through the OS as well as 
Python using the adafruit libraries, and I am seeing some strange behavior. 
When I connect an LED + 470 Ohm resistor to GND and a GPIO pin set as 
OUTPUT, I see the LED glow dimly (i.e there is a slight voltage present) 
even when the pin is set to LOW! When I set the pin to HIGH, however, I see 
the expected result (i.e the LED lights up normally).

This behavior is seen with all GPIOs, and I am wondering if it is normal. 
Shouldn't the voltage across the GPIO pins and GND be zero when set to low?

I have an Element 14 RevC. with the latest Debian installed.

Any help/insight would be much appreciated.
