Package: pi
Version: 1.1.9-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

It's always fun to make awefully long bug reports about incredibly
minor issues, so here goes: there is a strange correspondence with the
number of digits given as an argument on the command line, and the
number actually printed.  One hypothesis I had was that a better
approximation was calculated based on a previous approximation, and
that the new approximation had more than one number of digits extra.
So it would not make sense to not print the superfluous number of
digits since they had been calculated anyway.  But even then, too many
digits were printed even for the cases just before where you start
calculating a new approximation, like 5 and 9 and 14.  Look at the
output of the following command ( substract one or two from the second
number for the leading dot and the 3 if you don't count it ).

I'd prefer if the command would print exactly the number of digits
asked for, since I may be interested in getting the nth number of pi,
and get the wrong one by accident this way.

'for i in $(seq 50); do pi=`pi $i`; dts=${#pi}; echo "$i -> $dts"; done'
