Note also the number of zeros, above.

Ken told me he's already informed Alex Shinn of this. It definitely looks like a bug. I'll wait to hear what Alex says. Also, (xitomatl fmt) is at version 0.5 but there is a new 0.6 which might fix this. I'll know after I update to the new version.

[Derick Eddington (derick-eddington)]

I updated Xitomatl's fmt to 0.6, and this is what it does now:

> (fmt #f (num (sqrt -3.8) 10 5))
"0.00000+1.94936i"
> (fmt #f (num (sqrt -3.8) 10 4))
"0.0000+1.9494i"
> (fmt #f (num (sqrt -3.8) 10 3))
"0.000+1.949i"

The complex numbers are now correct, but I don't know if the number of zeros should be considered a bug according to the intent of Alex. I'm going to say this is fixed, but reopen if you want.
