Hi Keith.
Thanks for your patch with test. I'll try to look into incorporating
this soon (I'm busy with OpenJDK 6).

Hi,
I believe the attached patch fixes the trailing zero problem mentioned
in several bugs (in addition to $SUBJECT), including 4511638, 6575880,
and 4191279.
The problem arises because sun.misc.FloatingDecimal.getChars and
sun.misc.FloatingDecimal.dtoa disagree about when numbers are
represented in E-form and when they are not. As a result, dtoa stuffs
one too many numbers (a '0' in this case) into digits[], and getChars
blindly returns them to FloatingDecimal.toJavaFormatString.
I have also attached a jtreg test for this, based on various testcases
given in several bug requests.
