   In using J 2.9 on a sun4, I noticed what looks like a bug to me:

      _20.1 ": 1e_10
   ********************

      _20.1 ":1e10
     1.0e10

      _20.1 ": 1e_3
     1.0e_3

Following this note I tried this:
     ": 4j5
4j5

and also
     4":4j5
   4

I expected  both components to be formated the same way.  Am I wrong?
