Hallo,

in playing around with digital keys (integers) which have a simple=20
arithmetic check property, I encountered problemsusing bash's arithmetic=20
expansion, when ever the used digital substrings have leading zeros. The=20
problem shows up already for the simplest operations, namely converting=20
a string argument to its numerical value, as shown below.

With thanks for your attention and best regards, J=C3=B6rn Knoll
