Try this (PI is pi function on SPC key)

  6 FIX PI ->NUM ->Q     gives  '355/113'   as expected
but
  7 FIX PI ->NUM ->Q     gives  '103993.000000/33102.0000000'

Where did the trailing zeroes come from?  FIX 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 also give
trailing zeroes.  A random check oof other arguments did not give trailing
zeroes.  Is this a bug or did I miss something in the fine print?

I hope this message comes through ungarbled.  I am having trouble with this
editor.
