$[ 09.5 ] -- bad math expression

[Atom Smasher <atom@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

with zsh 4.2.1 i get what i'd expect here:

	echo "$[ 09.5 ]"
	9.5

and all math operations work as expected. with zsh 4.3.10, this is broken:

	echo "$[ 09.5 ]"
	zsh: bad math expression: operator expected at `.5 '

and all math operations using "09.5" result in errors. the problem seems 
to come up when using a non-integer with a leading zero.

is this a known bug? are there any workarounds?

thanks...
