The only case I've heard of where this would occur is that of TeX;
I heard Donald Knuth uses successive digits of Pi and e for his
version numbers, adding one more digit for each release. Conceivably
adding a digit which happens to do zero mus occur. Maybe he just
adds more digits till he hits a nonzero. I don't know.
