This was committed one month ago. Yesterday I noticed that bug 642 had been
reintroduced into AbiWord. I've traced it back to this commit. The bug was
originally fixed by changing a line in abi/src/af/util/xp/ut_units.cpp from
this:

sprintf(buf,bufFormat,value);

to this:

sprintf(buf,bufFormat,valueScaled);

(see http://www.abisource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=642 for the diff).
I don't know if that was the correct way to fix it, but Justin changed it
back to:

sprintf(buf,bufFormat,value);

in his commit on 6/18 (Version 1.24 -> 1.25). This seems to have
reintroduced bug 642.
