printf command refuses formatting string "08" using %02d |

Hi, I am using Ubuntu 7.10 for amd64, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic,
Printf refuses to tell me the version number... --help and --version flags not
working ???
Anyway, here is my problem (bash 3.2.25(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)):
address@hidden:~/$ echo `printf "%02d" 08`
bash: printf: 08: invalid number
00
address@hidden:~/$ echo `printf "%02d" 04`
04
address@hidden:~/$
printf refuses to format 08 ... and not 04. Took a look at the code, but
problem was not obvious.
Gdb would be useful I guess.
Please let me know if you can reproduce this problem, if you need more
information, and if you have a solution :-)
Thanks for your attention.
