+Summary: Decimal.ToString() minor formatting bug in MONO Beta  1&2
+
+Description of Problem:
+I found a slight inconsistency (that I will call a bug) when using MONO 
+when calling .ToString() on a Decimal type.  While both MS.NET and MONO 
+output 0 as "0", and 5.37 as "5.37" the inconsistency is for exact 
+numbers (integers).  So for all exact numbers other than 0, such as 1 or 
+2 or 3, MS.NET will output "1.00", "2.00", "3.00" whist MONO will 
+output "1", "2", "3".
+
+I realize this is minor but it did cause a problem in a few of my web 
+apps where I was doing regular expression validation requiring the X.YY 
+format, thus each time the user tried to edit the value they had to 
+append the ".00".  
+
+It would be great to be consistent with MS.NET with this without 
+requiring a special string formatter, etc.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Run this program:
+
+using System;
+public class test
+{
+  static void Main()
+  {
+    Decimal num = 5.00M;
+    Console.WriteLine("5.00 : " + num); // Here is the inconsistency
+    num = 5.37M;
+    Console.WriteLine("5.37 : " + num);
+    num = 0.00M;
+    Console.WriteLine("0.00 : " + num);
+  }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+Results producted by MONO Beta 1&2:
+5.00 : 5
+5.37 : 5.37
+0.00 : 0
+
+Expected Results:
+Should be same an MS.NET 1.1:
+5.00 : 5.00
+5.37 : 5.37
+0.00 : 0
+
+How often does this happen? 
+All the time on MONO Beta 1&2
